Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a prophet. He was a prophet in that he saw the present exactly as it was and the future as it could be. And he pushed our nation toward that future. Dr. King pushed even as his character was maligned. He pushed even as his family’s life was threatened. He pushed even as his own life was in jeopardy. He pushed for racial justice, economic justice, and the freedom that unlocks all others: the freedom to vote. To truly honor the legacy of the man we celebrate today, we must continue to fight for the freedom to vote and for freedom for all.
