How did a young boy from Atlanta, Georgia, change the course of history? With a vision and words, that’s how. Through speeches, letters, sermons and everyday conversations, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. used words to deliver a message that all people—regardless of color, creed, race, gender or age—deserve to be treated equally. It wasn’t an easy message to deliver, but people around the world recognized his caring, compassion and courage. Dr. King’s words still influence people today—many years after his death. His life and contribution to the world are on a special day in January each year.
