Statement on Martin Luther King Jr Day

Tallahassee–Republican Party of Florida Chairman Jim Greer released the following statement today regarding the observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day:

“As we celebrate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we remember his tireless fight for civil rights and his vision for an America where our people are not divided race, but are united in freedom.

“We have come a long way since Dr. King explained his dream for our country in a speech that has graced the pages of history books for decades. Now together as Americans, we prepare to inaugurate our first African-American President. Despite our differences, this is a time in the history of our nation that we can each be proud of.”
