Celebrations

Around the World

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a minister and a leader of the civil rights movement in the United States. Martin Luther King was born on January 15, 1929. Every year he is honored on the third Monday in January. As Martin was growing up, black and white people were separated from each other. They could not attend the same schools, drink from the same water fountain, or eat in the same restaurants. Dr. King led a peaceful protest against this injustice and made many inspirational speeches. He is most known for his “I Have a Dream” speech. He became the youngest man to
win the Noble Peace Prize.
