WASHINGTON -- Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus and Co-Chair Sharon Day released the following statement commemorating the 53rd anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have A Dream” speech and the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom:
“Dr. King’s courageous quest for justice and reconciliation makes him one of the most heroic and important Americans of the 20th century,” said RNC Chairman Reince Priebus. “In the decades since he delivered his hopeful call for equality and freedom, America has taken enormous strides in fulfilling the dream he shared with the nation that day. As we reflect on the power of his words and the effect they had, we rededicate ourselves to the task of ending injustice in all its forms.”
“The courage and hope that distinguished Dr. King’s life are an inspiration for us all,” said RNC Co-Chair Sharon Day. “His fight to end prejudice and extend the American promise of liberty and justice for all lives on, and we must all do our part to make sure America continues to uphold the foundational truth of our republic: ‘All men are created equal.”
