Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a federal holiday that honors the life and achievements of the civil rights leader. The day takes place on the third Monday of January near his birthday. Born on January 15, 1929, in Atlanta, Georgia, Martin Luther King Jr. was a Baptist minister who became a prominent figure in the civil rights movement. He was also a champion of nonviolence and civil disobedience. His leadership helped to bring about significant changes in the laws and attitudes that had an impact on race in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Importance of MLK’s Activism<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. gave his famous “I Have a Dream” speech<\/a> during the March on Washington. In this speech, he called for an end to discrimination, as he envisioned a future where people of all races would be equal. A year later, in 1964, he won the Nobel Peace Prize <\/a>for his work in the civil rights movement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the evening of April 4, 1968, Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated at a motel in Memphis, Tennessee. Over half a century later, his legacy still lives on in the many changes that have taken place in the United States since his death. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To honor his memory and help organizations continue their fight for equality, GrantWatch.com<\/a> is sharing 10 grants to support social justice initiatives and programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
