Martin Luther King Jr. Day.....
Everyone knows these popular words “I have a dream”
Well those were the words of Martin Luther King Jr. He was a great man who fought for racial equality in the United States through non violence.
This day which is always held on the third Monday of January is a day to celebrate Him.
There is a big stone monument called the ‘stone of hope’ at the West Potomac Park in Washington DC. If you can, pay a visit to this park and take some pictures :)
