John,

Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day. More than half a century since Dr. King's death, his dreams of freedom, justice, and equality resonate across our national character as resolutely as when they were delivered from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

In January 1968, Dr. King made his only public appearance in Kansas. After meeting with community leaders in Wyandotte County, the civil rights icon spoke at Kansas State University. It was the last speech he would deliver on a university campus. To this day, Kansans hold Dr. King's values of civil rights, voting rights, worker's rights and health care dear.

On this Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we must recommit ourselves to the ideals he fought and died for. Now is a time for us to stand up against white supremacy and voter suppression, and to stand for Medicaid expansion and voting rights. As Dr. King once said, "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice." Let us continue to bend the arc towards a more just Kansas.

Onward,
KDP Team
