As we remember Dr. King, we remember all the peopl As we remember Dr. King, we remember all the people who hit the streets to hear his message. Who fought to make their voice heard.  Who continue to fight (and roll) for civil rights for all.

We have so much admiration and respect for Ledger Smith, pictured here.  He skated hundreds of miles to March/roll on Washington.

Photo 1: Ledger Smith, a semi-professional skater, is greeted by H. Carl Moultie, vice president of the D. C. branch of the NAACP, as he arrived by roller skates from Chicago to join the March on Washington. Photo by Tom Kelley / The Washington Post via Getty Images

Photo 2: On August 27, 1963, 27-year old Ledger Smith, aka "Roller Man" made his way into Washington D.C.. His trip originated in Chicago on August 17 and ended 10 days and 685 miles later at the Lincoln Memorial to hear Dr. Martin Luther King Jr speak.

Today we remember Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and th Today we remember Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and the immense contributions and sacrifices he made to this nation.  The struggle for civil rights continues to this day. Black culture and the American Black experience lives at the heart of roller skating history and culture.

We are here to continue to fight along side our Black skaters and community. We stand with black, brown, indigenous, queer, trans and all people who suffer from racism, inequality, oppression, and injustice.  Civil rights are human rights. 

We will always make space here.  We will always try to do better.  There will be no time where we have arrived.  That the struggle is over.  Equality is something we practice on the daily and if we forget about it, it washes away.

🖤🤎🧡💛🤍

Dr. King’s memory lives on.  Our remembrance makes him eternal. 

As the wise man in this photo says, “Put down hate, let’s skate!”
