MADISON, Wis. -- Protesters hissed and chanted "shame" at Gov. Scott Walker after he read a proclamation at the state's official Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday ceremony in the Capitol rotunda.
Walker spoke briefly at the event Monday afternoon that attracted hundreds of people and featured a gospel choir from Chicago, a youth choir from Madison and a keynote speech from University of Maryland law professor Sherrilyn Ifill.
She elicited loud applause during her comments when she said that King would not have approved of laws requiring voters to present photo identification at the polls. Walker signed a photo ID law last year.
Ifill also drew applause when she said King would have stood up for worker rights.
Walker has been targeted for recall after he took on public sector union rights.
The jeers lasted seconds, as the ceremony focused on King's life instead of current politics. A diverse audience gathered to listen to songs and speeches that honored King.
