SENATOR COLLINS HONORS MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
"On the night before he was assassinated, Dr. King delivered his very last speech to striking sanitation workers in Memphis. He said this: 'Let us rise up tonight with a greater readiness. Let us stand with a greater determination. And let us move on in these powerful days, these days of challenge, to make America what it ought to be. We have an opportunity to make America a better nation.'
"These stirring words, uttered more than 40 years ago during a turbulent time in our history, serve today as a call to action for all Americans to work together to build a finer land, a more noble civilization, and a better nation."
