Martin Luther King Day is a day of celebration of a man that led the fight for civil rights for all Americans. Though the 1960’s seem like a long time ago, Kings dream lives on. Former ECKAN CEO, Richard Jackson on that dream:
King was the chief spokesperson for nonviolent activism in the civil rights movement, which protested racial discrimination in Federal and state law. The campaign for a Federal Holiday in King’s honor began soon after his assassination in 1968. President Ronald Reagan signed the holiday into law in 1983
