Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s Chicago Freedom Movement laid the groundwork for today’s Fair Housing Act. His fight for civil rights, racial equity and housing justice will continue until we all have the freedom to care for our families and live in a safe and affordable home.
![Square graphic with an image of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at a Chicago Freedom Movement March. Text reads: “In the summer of 1966, Dr. King’s Chicago Freedom Movement campaigned against housing discrimination. This led to the creation of one of the nation's first fair housing organizations, and later, the passage of the Fair Housing Act.” Quote reads: “Never before have such far-reaching and creative commitments been made and programs adopted and pledged to achieve open housing in a community, [... this is] the first step in a 1,000 mile journey.” – Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Banner on bottom reads “Martin Luther King Jr. Day” and shows the logo of the National Housing Law Project.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:phwbjxak2mvhnovpipkt3dao/bafkreicdv3zentbguogkujnzvqqujsjc4ddo2gwv3u2omtdgahebbhqzwi@jpeg)

“This is not the hour to shrink. This is the hour to rise.”
Dr. Bernice King reminds us that her father warned we must learn to live together as brothers — or perish as fools.
In a time of inequality and fear, the choice is still ours: community or division, courage or despair.
