Today is Martin Luther King Jr. day in the United States. Martin Luther King Jr. was born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, GA and was assassinated on April 4, 1968 in Memphis, TN. He was a singular figure who wrote important things, did important things, and said important things:

He changed our country in a way that is hard to understand now because the reality of life before him is so impossible to believe.
Remembering him is important.
