A
Martin Luther King Jr. Day: Faith, politics mix on holiday

ATLANTA (AP) — Against
the backdrop of a presi-
dential election year, Mon-
day's Martin Luther King Jr.
holiday found leaders still
wrestling over how to best
embody the slain civil rights
leader.
In Atlanta, Republicans
told a sometimes cool
crowd at Ebenezer Bap-
tist Church, King's onetime
church, that they were
honoring King's legacy of
service and political em-
powerment. But Demo-
crats found more favor by
highlighting the ways they
said the current political
and social order calls for
more radical action in line
with King's principles.
