Today we honor Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for his leadership and dedication to the nation’s civil rights movement. His effort to end discrimination, through rallies, sit-ins, the Freedom Rides, voter registration drives and the 1963 March on Washington, left a lasting impact on our nation today. Dr. King’s message of non-violence, unity and equality resonated across the world and earned him the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1964. Today we join together as a nation to celebrate the life and work of Dr. King and we build upon his message of peace for all in the years to come.
