Honoring the Life and Legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.

Jan 18, 2016 | Blog

Today, Americans of all backgrounds pause to honor the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., a true American hero. Dr. King was a man whose passionate words and courageous actions forever transformed our society, a man who refused to let his dreams falter, despite the vast odds against him. Dr. King envisioned an America that lived up to its founding promise. He dreamed of a free America bound by equality of opportunity for people of all races, a stronger America driven by values of progress and peace.

America continues to build on the foundation Dr. King laid 52 years ago in his ‘I Have a Dream’ speech. While our nation has made great strides, Dr. King’s work remains unfinished. In the 21st century, we must follow the example set forth by Dr. King and expand the American Dream to ensure every American has access to equal opportunity.

On the Eve of his death, Dr. King stated, “We have an opportunity to make America a better nation. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight that we, as a people, will get to the promised land.” It is now in our hands to stand united and continue to make our nation a better place for future generations.
