Today is the Official Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. although it will be celebrated on January 18, 2021 this year. Martin Luther King Jr. was an American Baptist minister and activist who became the most visible spokesperson and leader in the civil rights movement from 1955 until his assassination in 1968. He was born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia.
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." Martin Luther King Jr.
