Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a federal holiday observed each year on the third Monday of January.

King, who was a leader and spokesperson for nonviolent activism in the civil rights movement, delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” speech on August 28, 1963. In this speech, King called for civil and economic rights and an end to racism in the United States.

His words continue to echo through time, motivating and inspiring generations to strive for equality, making the world a better place.
