Today we celebrate the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., the civil rights leader who inspired a generation to fight for equality in the 1950s and 60s. Martin Luther King Jr. Day has been celebrated as a national holiday in his honor since 1986.
Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968) was a Baptist minister who helped lead the American civil rights movement up until his assassination in 1968. The man who spoke of peace, who “had a dream,” was viciously murdered while trying to make the United States a better place for all citizens, no matter their race. His incredible work and legacy will always be remembered on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
