ATLANTA — President Joe Biden delivered the Sunday sermon at the spiritual home of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. on what would have been the slain civil rights leader’s 94th birthday and implored a crowd of churchgoers to continue to pursue his vision.
“It’s still the task of our time to make that dream a reality because it’s not there yet. To make Dr. King’s vision tangible, to match the words of the preachers and the poets with our deeds,” Biden said.
“On this day of commemoration, service and action, let us hold up a mirror to America and ask ourselves: What kind of country do we want to be?” Biden said. “Will we honor Dr. King’s legacy by rising together — buttressed by each other’s successes, enriched by each other’s differences and made whole by each other’s compassion? I believe we can.”
