It’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Hey readers,

Today we celebrate a special man named Martin Luther King Jr.

Dr. King was the leader of the civil rights movement. The reason for this movement was to make sure there were equal rights for everyone—no matter your background or skin colour.

It took a lot of hard work, but eventually, Dr. King’s beliefs become the beliefs of many others.

Thanks to Dr. King for making this world a better place!
