WASHINGTON – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus and RNC Co-Chairman Sharon Day released the following message on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day:
“Today we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,” said Chairman Priebus. “His vision, his leadership, and his determination helped America overcome the injustices of segregation, and because of him, we are a better nation. Dr. King called on Americans to live up to our founding principles, and he called us to be a more equal society. His monument now stands in Washington, D.C., as a reminder of his place in history—and a call to continue his work fighting prejudice and hate wherever it exists. Across the country today, Americans will pause to honor Dr. King, many taking part in a day of service to others. However we mark this day, we must continue to work every day toward a society that offers unlimited opportunity to all Americans.”
“We don’t just remember Dr. King today, we give thanks for him,” said Co-Chairman Day. “His stirring words still echo across this country, reminding us to stand tall for the cause of freedom and justice. It’s my prayer that America will continue to draw strength and inspiration from Dr. King, his sacrifice and his faith.”
