Goshen, N.Y. – Orange County Executive Steven M. Neuhaus released the following statement in commemoration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, which is on Monday, January 15th:
“Now more than ever, we must honor Dr. King’s legacy and continue to uphold his vision by never tolerating discrimination,” Neuhaus said. “Prejudice of any kind cannot and will not be tolerated in Orange County. April will mark the 50th anniversary of Dr. King’s tragic and untimely death and we are still influenced by his principles. That says so much about the man that Dr. King was and we should all take a moment to reflect on his life and beliefs.”
