As we have stated in the past, we consider days like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. day to be opportunities to speak less and listen more. Dr. King helped us all to better understand the value to society and to every individual in justice, inclusivity, respectfulness, shared dignity, and equality. These are messages and ideals that should ring throughout the year and not just on a single day. These are messages and ideals that should inform how we live, how we govern, and how we conduct business.

Thank you to Dr. King, and to his compatriots and successors, for words and deeds by which to live and thrive.
