SEN. OSSOFF: “Greetings, this is U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff from Georgia.
“Today we celebrate, contemplate, and recommit to the legacy and principles that Dr. King lived and fought for, along with all those who struggled alongside him in the movement for civil and human rights.
“It’s a day when we recommit ourselves to building here in our society and around the world The Beloved Community — when we recognize that our shared humanity is the most important thing.
“That prejudice, bias, racism, violence, and war are folly, and that only by recommitting to each other’s shared humanity can we build that Beloved Community for which Dr. King and so many strove and for which we continue to strive.
“For all who are celebrating and honoring this day, whether in church or through service projects across the state of Georgia, across the nation, and around the world, let this be a day not of rest, but of consideration, self-reflection, and of giving back, of recommitting in this year to come to doing all we can to stay true to the values that Dr. King lived and for which he still stands.”
