Gov. Lamont Statement on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day

1/20/2019

(HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Ned Lamont today released the following statement commemorating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day:

“Dr. King is one of our nation’s most important visionaries. His mission and pursuit of nonviolent protest resonates as loudly today as it did during its moment in history. Honoring him is a chance for all of us to renew our commitment to equality and justice. If we continue to work for voting that encourages participation for all citizens, affordable healthcare, a justice system that protects our communities, and strong public education for all, perhaps Dr. King’s dream can one day be our reality.”
