Martin Luther King Jr. day post
The reason that we don’t have school on Monday is to honor Martin Luther King Jr. because he was the one who brought blacks and whites together as friends and family. Dr. King was born on January 15, 1929 and was assassinated on April 4, 1968. he was shot several times. He was trained as a baptist minister but lead the American civil rights movement. He delivered his “I have a dream” speech in washington. He was the youngest person ever to recieve the nobel peace prize.
