Martin Luther King Day

Martin Luther King was a man who who fought against segregation. On Sunday, January 15 was his birthday and then he would have turned 88 years old. Even though his birthday was January 15 the holiday is on January 16. Martin Luther King fought for equal rights for everyone and taught us to fight for what we believe in without using violence. Martin Luther King went to jail more than 30 times fighting for equal rights and non segregated areas. This holiday was to remember Martin Luther King and what he did for America and what he fought for.
