Jack xxxxxx,

Today, we all celebrate the life and legacy of one of our country’s greatest citizens: Dr. Martin Luther King Junior. His tireless work toward perfecting our union has inspired millions both in America and across the globe.

He knew that true equality was worth fighting for, but he also knew that it would not be easy. Dr. King gave his life for his fellow man. His struggle was one for equality and peace, built out of passion and love. Even today, Dr. King’s legacy lives on in those people who dedicate their lives to building bigger tables, not erecting walls between us.

The best way to honor Dr. King today is through continuing his fight for freedom and justice. I strive to lead on important issues facing all Texans and Americans, from calling out intolerance in my own community to breaking down age-old divisions and creating a common bond amongst people from all backgrounds.

So, while many of you are enjoying a much deserved day off today, I urge you to take a beat and think about how you can make an impact in your community reflective of Dr. King's vision for America.

Saluting a warrior,

Kim Olson
