Martin Luther King Jr. Day, observed on the third Monday of January, commemorates the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a pivotal figure in the American Civil Rights Movement. This day honors his relentless struggle for racial equality and his dream of a society where people are judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. It’s a time to reflect on the progress made in civil rights and the ongoing efforts to achieve racial justice and equality in our communities.
