Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday

Today is the great Civil Rights Leader Martin Luther King Jr. His birthday is not on the 21st of January but the third Monday of the month. This is how a few holidays are done such as Thanksgiving which is on the fourth Thursday of the month, most of the time, it is the last Thursday of November.

Martin Luther King Jr. Was a Civil Rights Activist who was assassinated due to his beliefs. But others have carried on his works and make the world today as we know it right here in the United States. If they hadn’t fought for the rights of all people, we may still be segregated.
