Track: A look back at the long fight for the Martin Luther King Holiday.
script iconHello/Intro
Return to index of stories... 		Hello. I'm Richard Ager. Welcome to NH Outlook. This month marks the 10th anniversary of the culmination of one of the longest political fights in modern NH history: the official adoption of the Martin Luther King Holiday. At one point, this state was the lone hold-out in defying the will of the nation to honor MLK. It earned us praise from the KKK, and condemnation from a wide range of churches and civic organizations. We'll take a look at the legacy of Dr. King in just a moment, but first, a brief telling of the long fight to win his day.
