Today is Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday. He lived from January 17th, 1929 to April 4, 1968. It has been over 40 years since his passing yet his words still resonate throughout our society daily. He is best known for his work with civil rights in the United States and all around the world. He preached non-violence and understand. His birthday was made a National Holiday in 1986.
His most famous speech was entitled "I have a dream" so try to take a moment today and remember Dr. King's words and what they mean to you THEN go out and enjoy this beautiful day off of work/school! =)
