WESTCHESTER COUNTY EXECUTIVE KEN JENKINS STATEMENT ON MARITN LUTHER KING JR. DAY
“Today, we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a leader whose courage and commitment to justice reshaped our nation. Dr. King challenged America to live up to its highest ideals and reminded us that equality and dignity must be extended to everyone, not just promised in words but delivered through action.
“As Westchester County’s first Black County Executive, I am keenly aware that my ability to serve in this role is tied directly to Dr. King’s legacy. His leadership helped dismantle barriers that once made opportunities like this impossible for so many.
At the same time, he reminded us that equality is not a destination, but a responsibility that must be carried forward by every generation.
In Westchester, that means striving to create a community where opportunity is real, justice is fair and every resident can live a dignified life.”
