Quote of the Day by Martin Luther King Jr.: Martin Luther King Jr. was not simply a civil rights leader. He was a Baptist minister, powerful speaker, author, and one of the most influential voices for equality in American history. Born in Atlanta on January 15, 1929, King grew up during an era of segregation and racial injustice. Yet his life became a powerful story of courage, faith, nonviolent resistance, and service. His words reached millions because he spoke not only about freedom, but about the responsibility each person has to stand against injustice.
