Summary

Happy MLK Day, everyone. This morning we’re bringing you something special. Don is speaking at the 2026 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Annual Breakfast, presented by PUSH for Excellence and the Rainbow PUSH Coalition. In a moment defined by division, fear, and moral testing, we ask a vital question: What would Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. do in today’s climate? How would he confront Trump’s America? What would courage, justice, and nonviolence look like right now? Join Don live for this powerful event as we reflect on Dr. King’s legacy, not as history, but as a living challenge, and consider how his vision calls us to act today.
