On Monday, January 15, Americans will celebrate the life and achievements of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK). Born in Atlanta, Georgia on January 15, 1929, the activist was originally named Michael King after his father, a pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church. However, after a trip to Europe in 1934, King Sr. changed both his and his son’s name to Martin Luther in honor of the German theologian who initiated the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century.

          Martin Luther King Jr took a big risk by ending black history, and by making a decision that he didn't regret. In 1963, Martin Luther King Jr made his, '' I Have A Dream '' speech, that influenced the federal government to take more direct actions, and be more polite to the African Americans. His choices and decisions weren't regretted, and most remembered by all.
