How we got here

The first forty years of the King Holiday, from Selma’s bridge to the Mountaintop, understood as inheritance and not memory.

02

How we won

Accountability, faith, family, enterprise, and the work of building institutions we own and steward.

03

Why we ain’t going back

The 2026–2066 custodianship assignment, the creative economy, and a play called freedom.
