Human Rights Campaign Honors the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s Legacy
WASHINGTON - Human Rights Campaign President Joe Solmonese issued the following statement in honor of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., who led the march for equality and launched the civil rights movement that ended segregation in America. His leadership and example of non-violence paved the way for many others to work to end discrimination.
Said Solmonese:
”The Human Rights Campaign salutes the enduring legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. His courageous leadership continues to inspire us in our work to fully realize his vision of fairness and justice for all people.
This weekend, the GLBT community joins the rest of the world in remembering the great work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., whose life helped move our country closer to realizing the true meaning of 'equality for all'.
As we remember Dr. King, let's reflect upon our solidarity with the continued fight for civil rights and equal opportunity for all Americans.”
The Human Rights Campaign is America’s largest civil rights organization working to achieve gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender equality. By inspiring and engaging all Americans, HRC strives to end discrimination against GLBT citizens and realize a nation that achieves fundamental fairness and equality for all.
