Celebrating Martin Luther King Jr. Day
As we spend some time today reflecting on the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., it seems apparent that his message is one our country needs to remember now more than ever. We have made significant progress in our nation, and while there is still work to do, we must let civility, fairness, and opportunity drive our resolve for a more perfect union.
Today, we stand on the shoulders of great men like Dr. King in our pursuit of a more civil and fair America—an America where one’s race, gender, or zip code does not dictate their opportunity. While we have certainly made progress since the 1960’s, our work is far from over. More than ever, we must throw aside our differences and commit to unity over division. Freedom over oppression. Love over hate. In the end, as Dr. King said, ‘Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.’
On this day, may we honor the work that he started, the doors of opportunity he opened, and the message he proclaimed. Let us rejoice and celebrate the amazing legacy of a giant among men, a trailblazer who devoted his life to spreading the true meaning of unity, peace, and the relentless pursuit of brighter days. And let us work together to make sure his message lives on, for a better tomorrow, for all.
Sincerely,
Tim |
