Maryland Governor Wes Moore recently joined NPR’s Juana Summers for a conversation about the meaning behind July 5th — a day set aside to honor the memory of those who gave their lives fighting for equality and civil rights.
Known as Martyrs’ Day, the July 5th commemoration serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by individuals throughout history in the ongoing struggle for civil rights and equal treatment.
Governor Moore spoke with Summers about the importance of marking this occasion and keeping the legacy of those martyrs alive in public memory.
