Danny Davis said "The naming of a postal facility in Northwest America, hundreds of miles from Dr. King's civil rights battlefield in the Deep South, is a strong testimony to the far-reaching impact this pivotal figure had on our Nation as a whole. From his leadership in helping to organize the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955, to his riveting I Have a Dream speech, Dr. King reminded our country of its fundamental responsibility to safeguard the natural, God-given rights of all men so that we are free to pursue our goals and aspirations without the artificial walls of skin color, religious affiliation, sexuality or any other pointless barrier that separates us from our fellow human persons." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
