Here are their remarks. Good morning. Good morning. As we gather today, first let thank all of our honorees that we are saluting this year. It is important on king day that we do things in the spirit of dr. King. Mr. Sharpton dr. King as a federal holiday was a result in and of itself of struggle. So we do not take it as a day off. We take it as a day on. To do something in the spirit of human rights and civil rights that dr. King stood for. The National Action network started 28 years ago on those principles and weve been blessed to partner with martin who thought to spend this federal holiday every year with us at the breakfast. He had brought his mother to our Convention Many years. So we are in our d. N. A. Kinglike. And no year is more important than this year. Because we are meeting on a morning of king holiday where the nation has been more polarized and divided than weve seen in recent history. The rise of antisemitic attacks, the rise of hate crimes , the right of rhetoric tha
Taxes. The governor ended up vetoing the bill, that allows the commission through their guideline process to move forward with the perspective that they had shown the last time around.
