Although Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday is actually on the 15th of January, it is nationally observed on the third Monday in January. There will be large celebrations all over the nation today to celebrate the birth of the man who did the most in the fight for civil rights.
Martin Luther King Jr., who wold have been 79 years old this year, was assassinated at the age of 39 on April 4, 1968, while standing on the balcony of a motel in Memphis, Tennessee. Because of the efforts of King today we have a black man running for the office of President of the United States who has a good chance of winning.
As a black man myself I want to say thanks you Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Happy Birhtday.
That’s the news about that. I hope the news about you is good news.
