Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is one of the great figures of American history. He was a bold and fearless leader in America’s Civil Rights Movement, and he was a courageous champion of inalienable rights for all Americans. #MLKDay2021 
Dr. King also understood that these inalienable rights were etched into the very core of the American idea. He knew that his work was not to establish a new truth, but to extend the application of this undeniable truth to all U.S. citizens, regardless of race or color. #MLKDay
Dr. King reminds us in his “Letter from a Birmingham Jail” that those fighting for Civil Rights were not fighting against America; instead, they were “in reality standing up for the best in the American Dream.” #MLKDay2021
It was this spirit that drove Dr. King’s passionate belief that America is not an irredeemable nation, stained by its sins, but instead it is a promise of hope, prosperity, and liberty. #MLKDay
