On April 4, 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated in Memphis, where he stood with sanitation workers demanding the right to bargain collectively and pursue their dream of a better life.
Today that same dream is electrifying people all across America -- working people, students, faith leaders, black, white, Latino and Asian Americans. On April 4, 2011, and the days surrounding it, we will stand together with working people in Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana and other states where politicians backed by corporate CEOs are trying to take away the rights Dr. King gave his life for.
