I was in 4th grade in 1993 when AZ became the last state to recognize MLK Day. I also met Gov. Rose Mofford around that time. Grateful that our 3 boys, who met @GovernorHobbs while marching this am, are living in a world where there is no debate over the importance of today 🙏🏻 pic.twitter.com/nXQwCSztp4
