Today we celebrate Martin Luther King Junior Day to commemorate the life and work of Dr. King, a prominent leader in the civil rights movement. Most known for his “I Have a Dream” speech, Dr. King believed in nonviolent social change to achieve equal rights for all. He accomplished many civil rights acts, campaigns, and acknowledgements, such as the: The Birmingham Campaign, The Great March on Washington, The Civil Rights Act of 1964, The Nobel Peace Prize, and the 1965 Voting Rights Act. We encourage you to take time today to reflect on the principles and importance of equality and nonviolent social change.
