Today, we celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a man whose vision and leadership forever changed the course of history. Dr. King’s unwavering dedication to equality, justice, and nonviolence continues to inspire millions around the world.
A Dream That Lives On
Dr. King’s most iconic moment, his “I Have a Dream” speech, called for a future where people would be judged by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin. His words were not just a dream but a blueprint for building a better, fairer society.
Champion of Nonviolence
Dr. King believed in the power of nonviolence to enact change. Through peaceful protests and civil disobedience, he led the fight against segregation, voter suppression, and racial injustice. His leadership during the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the March on Washington, and the Selma marches showed the world that love and courage are stronger than hate.
