MLK Day has been designated as a national day of service (Credit: Points of light.org)

Celebrated annually on the third Monday of January, Martin Luther King Jr. Day honors the life and legacy of one of the most influential leaders of the American civil rights movement. Designated a national day of service by the US Congress, the federal holiday encourages citizens to help realize the Baptist minister's vision of a “beloved community” by bridging racial and ethnic barriers, addressing social issues, and volunteering to improve their communities.

          Martin Luther King Junior was a amazing activist and was very brave during a time where many people were scared.

            People shouldn’t have been judged if they had black skin

              People shouldn't be judged by their skin no matter what colour it is. ( also they don't necessarily have "black " skin, that's just a term people have grown to use.)

                MLK was a big part of the Civil Rights movement. I'm glad that the black people didn't have to live in segregation.

            I am so glad that Martin Luther King. Jr was born. If he wasn't, imagine what would have happened to our world! It would get worse! It is many years later but the black lives matter has still not gone.

              Too bad he wasn't able to see his nation without segregation before he died.
