Martin Luther King Jr.

     Martin Luther King, Jr. was an American clergyman, activist, and prominent leader in the Civil Rights Movement. This iconic figure of equality expanded American values to include the vision of a color blind society though sharing his beliefs, dreams and hopes for the future in a nonviolent approach. After the assignation of this peacemaker on April 4, 1968, a bill for King’s holiday was submitted; however, it didn’t get anywhere by falling five votes short of approval. Supporters of the holiday refused to give up and launched a public campaign calling for the creation of MLK Day. Even Musician, Stevie Wonder got in on the campaign by releasing “Happy Birthday,” an ode to King and essentially a public shaming of anyone against MLK Day. This holiday was first celebrated on January 20, 1986 but getting all 50 states on board was difficult, since many refused; it wasn’t until 2000 that the entire nation celebrated the King’s day.
