Moore Statement on Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Birthday

Washington, DC, January 15, 2010

(Washington, DC)— Today, Congresswoman Gwen Moore (D-Milwaukee) made the following statement on the anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday:

“Martin Luther King, Jr.’s historic march on Washington was a call for freedom and jobs.

“This is a good time to remember Dr. King’s call because the journey for economic justice continues today.  We are heeding his call by working every day to help relieve joblessness.

“I applaud what President Obama has done for everyday working people after only a year in office.  For far too long, we have seen an economy that only works for the wealthy. 

“Dr. King said, “The arc of history is long, but it bends towards justice.”  We will not rest until we have restored economic justice and created good livelihoods for people.”
