This Monday, we honor the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., an American hero who helped lead the civil rights movement and devoted his life to the fight for justice and equality.
Dr. King forcefully and eloquently shared his dream for our country, and helped inspire a nation to grow, change and move forward for a brighter future.
To learn more about the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the observance of his work by New York State please visit the New York State Dr. Martin Luther King Holiday Memorial Observance web site by clicking here: http://www.nyking.org/
I encourage all New York State residents to take a moment to pause and reflect on the sacrifices of so many incredible people, like Dr. King, that have helped to shape the character of our great nation.
