Celebrated on the third Monday of January, Martin Luther King Day is an American federal holiday that honors this highly influential civil-rights activist. Dr. King is renowned worldwide for his leadership on taking a non-violent approach to campaigns to end racial segregation on public transport and for racial equality in the U.S. He is celebrated for his inspiring vision of a world in which people are judged "not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character," shared in his famous speech "I have a dream." Dr. King was tragically assassinated in 1968, sparking riots in several US cities.
