Joaquin Castro Hails Latino Civil Rights Pioneers At MLK Tribute

By Fox News Latino

Standing before the Lincoln Memorial, Rep. Joaquin Castro paid tribute Wednesday to Latino civil rights activists of decades past, and said they had drawn inspiration from Dr. Martin Luther King and other African Americans who fought for equality.

“We’re grateful for the struggles and the movements and the blood and the tears of all the civil rights pioneers,” Castro said at the National Mall, where thousands gathered to commemorate King’s “I Have a Dream” speech in 1963. “I want you to know that this generation of Americans will not let that dream go, that we will carry on and make sure that this country lives up to the values and principles for which you fought so hard.”
