Today is MLK or Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Today we honor the Baptist minister who became one of the most visible leaders of the American Civil Rights movement. Dr. King was a powerful speaker and believer in organized, nonviolent protest to draw attention to the harmful practice of segregation caused by the Jim Crow laws in the south. He was very well known for his hopeful speeches like “I have a dream” and he could also call out the hypocrisy of White moderate ministers who were content to live with an unjust system that degraded and harmed their Black brothers and sisters.
