Fun fact of the week:

 

Martin Luther King Jr. Day is celebrated on the third Monday of January each year. King was chief spokesperson for nonviolent activism in the Civil Rights Movement, which protested racial discrimination in federal and state law and civil society. The movement led to several groundbreaking legislative reforms in the United States. MLK Day is a day to reflect on King's principles of racial equality and nonviolent social change. Celebrations often include marches, rallies, and speeches by civil rights leaders and politicians. It's also a day of service, with thousands of volunteers participating in service projects across the country.
