“If you can't fly, then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward” - Martin Luther King Jr. Today we honor the life and accomplishments of Martin Luther King Jr., one of the most influential civil rights leaders recognized for advancing the rights of minorities through a campaign of civil disobedience. MLK Jr. Day was first recognized by Ronald Reagan in 1983. Following King's assassination on April 4, 1968, activists led the charge in making his birthday a national holiday to honor him. #DidYouKnow in 1996, National Park Trust assisted the National Park Service in acquiring three properties inside the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Park in Atlanta, GA. #MartinLutherKingJr #MLKDay #LincolnMemorial #RonaldReagan #CivilRights 📸: The Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial in Washington D.C. - National Park Service/Buddy Secor
