1929-1968
On Jan. 18, the United States celebrated the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Born on Jan. 15, 1929, Dr. King is most known as a minister for the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta and for his monumental work as a leader of the American Civil Rights movement. Although he was assassinated on April 4, 1968, his memory reminds us that there is always work to be done on the issue of equality and that “the time is always right to do what is right.”
