The USA celebrates Martin Luther King Junior's birthday with a holiday on the third Monday in January (close to his actual birthday of January 15th). His efforts to promote freedom and equality for all people in the USA have really helped the citizens of the USA to recognize the freedoms and rights of others more today than in the times prior to Martin Luther King, Jr. He has made a real difference.
We need to continue this effort--sharing those concepts and applying them to others who are on the receiving end of prejudice. Equality of work and pay among the sexes is still a dream. Many people who are "different" in skin color, language, sexual orientation, political or religious belief, are deprived of the freedoms most of us expect in the USA.
One of the ways we honor Martin Luther King, Jr. is to keep his ideas alive. How are we doing on that day-by-day?
