Wyoming Governor Remembers Martin Luther King Jr. [AUDIO]

Governor Matt Mead and First Lady Carol Mead marched in Cheyenne as part of a cermony to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Other state and local officials as well as students, teachers and military personnel participated in the 30th annual event on Monday.

After the March, Governor Mead spoke on the steps of the State Capital.

If Dr. King were still alive he would have been 83 years old as of yesterday. While he is passed, in many ways his legacy lives on and grows with each passing year. Dr. King was a man who never gave up on his fundamental beliefs, he never gave up on the civil rights movement, and he never gave up as to the using of peaceful means to bring about social change.
-Governor Mead

Thank you to Dr. King, whose life work rung the bell of freedom, rung the bell of civil liberty and equality. A bell that continues to ring because his strike of this bell was true, it was brave and it was forever.
-Governor Mead
