On January 21, 2019, we celebrated Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a leader and icon in the civil rights movement. Dr. King combatted racial inequality through non-violent resistance up until his assassination in 1968, but his words, his teachings, and his fight for equality continue to inspire and impact people all over the world.
