Fellow people, we gather here today to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day. We celebrate this holiday to honor a leader named Martin Luther King Jr. He was born on January 15, 1929 and lived until 1968. During his time, African-Americans faced discrimination and were treated with cruelty. King led a lot of protests without any violence, but violence occurred in them. On September of 1963, King addressed the “I Have A Dream” speech at Lincoln Memorial. On April 4, 1968, he was assassinated at the Lorraine Motel. We celebrate this holiday on January 17, two days after his birth date. That’s why we have this holiday to honor a courageous leader.
