HONORING DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.

ANNAPOLIS—Dr. Jim Pelura, Chairman of the Maryland Republican Party, released the following statement:

“Nearly forty five years ago, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote in his “Letter from Birmingham Jail” that we as a people were “caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a garment of destiny.” Dr. King spoke often about what unites us as a people and devoted his life to lifting up our nation to respect the dignity and worth of each and every person.

Today, the Maryland Republican Party honors the lasting legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. We must continue to strive for the equality, justice, and freedom that were pivotal to the movement that Dr. King led and must never falter in our efforts. We must recommit ourselves to do more to help a neighbor in need and lift up our communities so these principles can take root and blossom in years to come.”
