comments,
- On this day we honor the man whose very name...""Embodies the fight for racial equality in the United States
- This photo was taken in a place where tragedy inspired activism.""Find out how a motel became a memorial to Dr. King
- In 1963, days into a nonviolent protest in Birmingham, Alabama, Martin Luther King, Jr., was arrested.""He used his time in jail to write a defense of his activist tactics
- Eloquent as he was, MLK was trying to inspire actions and deeds, more than words.""This day is not just for memorials, but for service
