Washington, D.C. – Senator Ron Johnson (WI) today released the following statement regarding Martin Luther King, Jr. Day:

“The Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. dreamed of a day when people would be judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character; where America would live out the true meaning of its creed: that all men are created equal; where oppression would be replaced by freedom and justice; and where people would sit down together in brotherhood.

“That message is as important today as it was during his lifetime."
