Here is one of my favorite quotes from Martin Luther King Jr.

“I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made straight and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together.”
Martin Luther King, Jr. 

 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan on March 14, 1968, just a few weeks before his assassination. King was targeted by a racist gang opposed to open housing in the affluent suburb of Detroit.                 Newspaper Article - view full page

We have no school on Monday because it’s Martin Luther King Jr Day.  His real birthday is on January 15.  They try to make the holiday near is birthday.  I think we have off on this day because it’s a day where we should remember him and all that he did in his lifetime.  He helped a lot of people and chanded the way we lool at people today.  Back when segregation was going on he changed people’s minds.  He was later assasinated because he helped so many people and other’s didn’t like it.
