K. Joseph Shekarchi

Rhode Island Speaker of the House.

Dr. King said:

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands in times of challenge and controversy."

Let it be said that in our time of challenge and controversy, we stand together.

We need the wisdom of the late Dr. #MartinLutherKingJr more than ever. As we celebrate his birthday, let’s all put his teachings to work. Dr. King understood that leadership, whether political, social, or cultural, is a form of service.

[K. Joseph Shekarchi @RISpeaker]

The powerful influence of Dr. King should always motivate us to do better.  

Martin Luther King, Jr. did not leave us.  Not when his words, his strength, and his spirit can be experienced today.
