New York, NY – Committee of 100, a nonprofit organization of prominent Chinese Americans, today released the following statement where the great American institution of Inauguration Day and the annual Dr. Martin Luther King Holiday coincide.
“As our nation prepares to swear in President Trump later today to lead for the next four years, we wish him the very best and look forward to working with him in the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King’s unwavering commitment to justice and equality for all—a bedrock principle of the America we hold so dear,” said Cindy Tsai, Interim President, Committee of 100. “Dr. King’s dream of a fair and inclusive society resonates deeply with Committee of 100’s dual mission.
