Message from Wes Clark on Martin Luther King's Birthday Celebration

Today, we come together to honor Dr. Martin Luther King -- a force of love who taught us that hatred and prejudice have no place in the laws of a great nation or the souls of a great people.

Forty years ago, hundreds of thousands of Americans convened in our Capitol to march with Dr. King and hear his dream for our nation. On that hot August day, citizens from across our country who yearned for justice linked arms, and pledged together in song: We Shall Overcome.

Forty years later, the sad fact is that we still have much to overcome. Black Americans are twice as likely to be out of a job, twice as likely to live in poverty, and a third less likely to have health care. We must work together to fix the pervasive inequality in our society. And I'm not going to rest until every single American can cast their vote and make their voice heard.

Half a century ago, Dr. Martin Luther King led us in a great struggle to redeem the promise of our Constitution for all our people -- to create a nation where all of us are truly judged not by the color of our skin, but by the content of our character.

Today, it's up to us to continue his work. Together, we can make his dream come true.

Wes Clark
