Martin Luther King's
Birthday is celebrated
on the third Monday of
January in the United
States.
Martin Luther King,
Jr., an African-American
clergyman, is considered
a great American because
of his tireless efforts
to win civil rights for
all people through
nonviolent means. Since
his assassination in
1968, memorial services
have marked his birthday
on January 15. In 1986,
that day was replaced by
the third Monday of
January, which was
declared a national
holiday.

"I am convinced that
love is the most durable power in the world. It
is not an expression of impractical idealism, but of
practical realism. Far from being the pious
injunction of a Utopian dreamer, love is an absolute
necessity for the survival of our civilization.
To return hate for hate does nothing but intensify the
existence of evil in the universe. Someone must
have sense enough and religion enough to cut off the
chain of hate and evil, and this can only be done
through love."
~ Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr. 1957 |
