Martin Luther King Jr. was an American Baptist minister and activist who became the most visible spokesperson and leader in the civil rights movement from 1955 until his assassination in 1968.

Today is Martin Luther King, Jr.’s day in America. We remember his life, his influence, and his impact on the lives of people everywhere. The world would be a much different place without him. Thank you Dr. King for your service and sacrifice. You still inspire us today to overcome and to seek justice for all.

Today there will be several quotes attributed to his civil rights leader that will appear on my blog.
