Dearest friends
Born on the 15th of January 1929.
Martin Luther King Jr was an American Baptist minister and
activist who was a leader in the Civil Rights Movement.
He is best known for his role in the advancement of civil
rights using nonviolent civil disobedience.
King became a civil rights activist early in his career
He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for combating racial
inequality through nonviolent resistance in 1964.
High recognized for his efforts, King was posthumously
awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal.
Martin Luther King Jr. Day was established as a holiday in
numerous cities and states beginning in 1971, and as a U.S. federal holiday in

We will end this mail with one of his quote: The ultimate measure of a
man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but
where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
Have a lovely day.
