Martin Luther King Day honors the life and achievements of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. Born in 1929, King played a pivotal role in advocating for racial equality through nonviolent means. His iconic marches and speeches, including the 'I Have a Dream' address, continue to inspire movements for justice and equality. King's legacy extends beyond his lifetime, influencing contemporary social justice movements. As we commemorate MLK Day, we reflect on the progress made towards a more equitable society and the work remaining to fulfill King's vision. His message of love, compassion, and unity remains relevant today.
