Martin Luther King Jr. Day

🖤✨ January 15: Martin Luther King Jr. Day ✨🖤

Today, we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a visionary leader and the chief advocate for nonviolent activism during the Civil Rights Movement. His unwavering fight against racial discrimination changed the course of history, advancing human rights and equality for Black communities and beyond. 🌍

💡 Did you know?
🔹 Dr. King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 at just 35 years old, making him the youngest recipient at the time.
🔹 His leadership inspired monumental achievements, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
🔹 Today, his vision of justice, love, and unity continues to inspire global movements for equality and peace.

📅 First observed in 1986, Martin Luther King Jr. Day became a federal holiday in the U.S. to honor his profound contributions to civil rights. It wasn’t until 2000 that all 50 states officially recognized the day—a testament to his lasting impact.

🌍 Dr. King’s work transcends borders, reminding us that the fight for equality and justice is a universal cause. Globally, communities continue to advance his mission by addressing human rights, civil rights, and legal protections.
