We would like to take a moment and remeber Dr.Martin Luther King Jr who today would have been 79 years old. Martin Luther King Jr was one of the main leaders of the American civil rights movement. A Baptist minister by training, King became a civil rights activist early in his career, leading the Montgomery Bus Boycott and helping to found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. His efforts led to the 1963 March on Washington, where King delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech, raising public consciousness of the civil rights movement and establishing King as one of the greatest orators in American history. In 1964, King became the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to end segregation and racial discrimination through civil disobedience and other non-violent means. So in your day to moving around please pause for a moment to remeber a great humanitarian.
January 15, 1929–April 4, 1968
HAPPY 79th Birthday Martin Luther King Jr.
