I hope that the opening of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial will be a life-altering experience that inspires every American to rededicate themselves to the fulfillment of Dr. King's dream.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is one of my personal heroes.

Even after facing jail, Martin Luther King, Jr. courageously and boldly spoke out against racial inequality.

Dr. Martin Luther King is not a black hero. He is an American hero.

We will not allow this day of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial to go without somebody going to jail.

Make no mistake about it. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is a Hero of freedom. He is a Hero of justice and equality. He is Hero of peace. He is a Hero against racism, discrimination, hatred, and oppression. It is a cruel act for someone to hijack Dr. King’s legacy for purposes that run counter to everything King stood for. It is unethical, immoral, and deceptive.
