    "Forty-five years ago this week, Martin Luther King Jr. inspired us to act on the principle that all Americans must have equal rights. Democrats will finish King's unfinished business for equal voting rights for the citizens of our capital. King's vision that change is best achieved when wrapped in unchanging principles is the hallmark of Democrats - from Martin Luther King Jr. to the next President of the United States, Barack Obama."Denver Post: 2008 DNC: Remarks...by Eleanor Holmes Norton...
