Martin Luther King Day honours and celebrates the life of the American civil rights leader, Martin Luther King Junior, who worked to end racial segregation in the American South and promote racial equality everywhere. Though his day is officially observed on the third Monday in January, he was actually born on January 15th, 1929. Most famous for the March on Washington and the giving of his “I Have A Dream” speech, the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize recipient’s achievements went far beyond that.
