Dean Commemorates Martin Luther King, Jr.

January 16, 2006

You can get a report, including video and photos, from Governor Dean's commemoration of Dr. King at St. Stephen’s Baptist Church in Kansas City, Missouri at the blog.

Washington, DC -- Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean issued the following statement commemorating Martin Luther King Jr. Day:

"Today, we celebrate the birth, the life, and the legacy of a great American. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. believed enough in this country to demand that its promise be available to all Americans.

"The principles in which he believed and to which he dedicated himself flowed from a fundamental respect for the dignity of each human being. Dr. King gave voice and vigor to a movement and to a dream of his beloved community. In doing so he gave back to America its founding promise.

"We honor him best by honoring his principles, not just today but every day of the year."
