Martin Luther King, Jr. Day (officially Birthday
of Martin Luther King, Jr.) is an American federal holiday marking
the birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. It is observed on the third
Monday of January each year, which is around King's birthday, January 15. Celebrating
Martin Luther King Jr. Day is no long-standing tradition. The holiday is a
little more than three decades old, but the proposition that the date should
become a holiday dates back to his assassination in 1968.

ReplyDeleteHe was not only a defender of the rights of blacks , but also defended the reputation of women.
I researched some memorable phrases of Martin Luther King
"What worries me is not the cry of the poor . It is the silence of good men . "
" Very little is needed to fully transform a life : love in your heart and smile on his face ".
"I am also a victim of deferred dreams, of hopes torn , but despite that, I still have a dream , because we can not give up on life ."
" Who accepts evil without protesting , really cooperating with it ."
Very beautiful and always current .
