The Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday | CITY OF BREVARD: (cityofbrevard.com)
City of Brevard issued the following announcement on Jan. 10.
Many across the U.S. on Monday are honoring the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. through marches, tributes, volunteering and a call to action on voting rights.
The Martin Luther King Jr. holiday is observed each year on the third Monday in January. King, who would have turned 94 on Jan. 15, was a pastor and civil rights leader who dedicated his life to achieving racial equality — a goal he said was inseparable from alleviating poverty and stopping war.
King helped organize rallies and boycotts, including the successful Montgomery bus boycott, and advocated for peaceful protests. King delivered his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech in 1963 from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964.
