Legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr.

ORLANDO, FL – The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. left a legacy of hope and inspiration that continues 53 years after his assassination. In President Donald Trump’s proclamation to honor King he said, “Dr. King described our Constitution and Declaration of Independence as promissory notes left by our Founding Fathers for ‘every American to fall heir.’ His dream, rooted in the American Dream, was that our children might be ‘judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.’ This dream, he hoped, would finally let freedom ring for all people…With the same dream, faith, and hope championed by the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., we recommit to upholding his legacy and meeting our sacred obligation to protect the unalienable rights of all Americans.”
