Today is Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in the United States.
Dr. King was a leader in the civil rights movement in the U.S. from 1955 until he was assassinated on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee. He was born on January 15, 1929. Consequently, the federal holiday was designated on the third Monday in January.
