NOBLE Joins the Nation in Celebrating the Life and Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.



[Alexandria, VA] In observance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE) encourages all Americans to honor his legacy by standing up against racism, injustice, and inequality. We must strive to advance Dr. King's agenda across the country to ensure equity in the administration of justice for everyone regardless of ethnicity, gender, religion, sexuality, or disability.

NOBLE encourages its many members and constituents to participate in the national day of service as a tribute to the memory of Dr. King who paid the ultimate sacrifice in the cause for civil rights and human rights.

"Our organization shares in Dr. King's quest for justice in the face of adversity," said Vera Bumpers, NOBLE National President. "One of my favorite quotes by Dr. King says, 'a threat to justice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.' These words ring true for the men and women in the law enforcement community who work tirelessly every day to ensure that justice is not only for a few, but afforded to all. We thank Dr. King for the sacrifices he made to bring hope and change to America. We must all do our part to fulfill his dream by unifying and building roads of opportunity for all people."
