U.S. Senator John McCain today issued the following statement on the 40th anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.: "Today we commemorate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a great American taken from us all too soon. Dr. King stirred the conscience of our nation to ensure that the self-evident truths of human freedom held true for all Americans. The power of his work and vision was not ended forty years ago in Memphis. Across the world, men and women are living Dr. King's dream as they strive to extend the blessings of human liberty and human rights to all. Today, we mark a tragic day in our nation's history while honoring the work of a man who was the voice for our nation's highest ideals."
