Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday

Today is the anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday. A Baptist minister, activist, humanitarian and leader in the African-American civil rights movement, King died in 1968. In his famous letter from the Birmingham Jail, he wrote, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”
