(Politico) — Attorney General Eric Holder declared the work of Martin Luther King Jr. “incomplete” on Thursday and called for a recommitment to the civil rights leader’s efforts to expand economic opportunity and justice.
“Despite all that he has achieved in recent years, the work of strengthening our nation and empowering all of our fellow citizens is incomplete,” Holder told a group of black rights leaders in Washington to honor King. “It is obvious we have not yet reached the promised land that Dr. King spoke of.”
Holder spoke at an $85-a-plate luncheon for the new memorial that is scheduled to be dedicated in King’s honor this weekend on the National Mall.
President Obama is expected to speak at the dedication on Sunday, but questions have been raised about whether the dedication may be canceled because of the hurricane making its way up the East Coast.
