Amata Highlights Martin Luther King Jr. Day 2026

Washington, D.C. - Congresswoman Uifa'atali Amata released the following statement in recognition of Martin Luther King Jr. Day:

"Martin Luther King Jr. gave our nation a lasting example of moral courage rooted in faith, love of neighbor, and respect for human dignity. His leadership demonstrated that meaningful change is achieved not through division or force, but through persuasion, perseverance, and peaceful action.

"Dr. King's speeches and writings continue to speak clearly across generations because they appeal to our highest ideals - equality under the law, opportunity for all, and unity grounded in mutual respect. His life reminds us that standing for what is right requires both conviction and compassion.

"As we honor the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., we are reminded that the work of building a stronger nation is never finished. His example calls each of us to act with integrity, to treat one another with kindness, and to pursue justice in a way that brings people together, not apart."
