MLK Day
5 of Martin Luther King Jr.’s Most Memorable Speeches
Before he was assassinated at age 39, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. led the 1955 Montgomery bus boycott, organized the 1963 March on Washington, advocated for civil disobedience and non-violent protest, and became one of the most influential figures in American history.
MY TAKE: Fifty years after his death, it’s worth taking another look at what the civil rights icon actually called for in his quest for equality. Dr. King had a wonderful intellect and was a great writer and speaker. His message is worth remembering.
