Sen. Rand Paul today issued the following statement commemorating the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
"It is simply unimaginable to think what modern America would be like if not for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s courage and triumph. Today, we celebrate his life and reflect on his influence and call for ending injustice in America. When one sees an injustice so great, he or she must make a choice-to continue tolerating the injustice or make sacrifices in the name of stopping it. Thankfully for us, Dr. King made sacrifices and chose the path less traveled," Sen. Paul said. "In years to come, we must keep building the kind of America that is worthy of his memory and that our children-of every race, creed and color-deserve."
