MEMPHIS, Tenn.—Vice President Mike Pence gave a speech on Jan. 19 in remembrance of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. at a church service in Tennessee.
“I’m here to pay a debt of honor and respect to a man who from walking the dirt roads of the Deep South to speaking to hundreds of thousands on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, touched the hearts of the American people and led the civil rights movement to triumph over Jim Crow,” said Pence, who spoke at the Holy City Church of God in Memphis the day before the federal holiday named after the slain civil rights leader.
