[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."
