Trump administration honors Martin Luther King Jr.
Members of the Trump administration on Monday commemorated Martin Luther King Day, honoring the memory of the civil rights’ legend during a special ceremony at a memorial dedicated to him in Washington, D.C.
To mark King’s 89th birthday, a wreath laying also took place during the ceremony, which included remarks from Department of Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, FBI Director Christopher Wray and King’s son, Martin Luther King III.
Wray said “lack of equal opportunity hurts all of us, discrimination against one person hurts the whole community and hate against one becomes hate against all.”
Zinke said King was a “Christian soldier of righteousness,” adding the nation has an obligation to make sure the justice, equality and battle faced every day is fought and won.
