The late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was born on this day, January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia.
As Americans we are compelled to have long holiday weekends. The King holiday is no exception and with the upcoming presidential inauguration of the first non-white, African American the next few days will be filled with national celebration.All Americans should know had it not been for the willingness of Martin Luther King, Jr. to serve his fellow man by speaking out about the injustice being done to a race and a class of people we would not have the strong feeling and evidence of unity in our country today.
It is because of the sacrifices of Martin Luther King, Jr. and other courageous individuals who participated in the Civil Rights Movement that we stand at the threshold of a new era in American history and politics.
