麻州長Healey 29日下令降半旗紀念Mel King

 Governor Healey Orders Flags at Half Staff in Remembrance of Mel King 

BOSTON – Governor Maura T. Healey ordered flags to be flown at half-staff at all state buildings in remembrance of former State Representative and political activist Mel King and issued the following statement.  

“Mel King’s work and legacy reverberate throughout Boston and well beyond the borders of Massachusetts. This loss will be felt just as widely. A dedicated public servant and civil rights champion, he stepped up to challenges that few could imagine taking on, brought people together, and never stopped advocating for racial justice. I urge all Massachusetts residents to join me in honoring his life and contributions, holding his loved ones in our hearts, continuing his work toward equity and justice.”  

(Boston Orange編譯) 麻州州長奚莉 (Maura T. Healey) 29日下令，所有州政府建築降半旗致哀，以紀念前州眾議員和政治活動家Mel King。

奚莉州長並發佈了以下聲明:

"Mel King做的事和他留下的傳奇，在波士頓和甚至遠遠超越麻州邊境之外，都有廣泛影響。這個損失將會被廣泛感受到。Mel King作為一名敬業的公僕和民權倡導者，勇敢應對了很少有人能想象的挑戰，團結了民眾，並且一直在為種族正義發聲。我敦促所有麻州居民與我一起，紀念他的生命和貢獻，將他的親人放在心中，繼續他為平等和正義所做的努力。"
