Annie's "Martin Luther King Jr. Day" Page ~Always the third Monday in January~ My parents raised me to believe that I could be anything I wanted to be and do anything I wanted. They also taught me that the color of a persons skin didn't matter. This may sound very naive to you. But that is always the way I have felt. We are all created equal in the eyes of the Lord. We are all His children. Remember the song from when you were younger all the children of the world....... Red, and yellow, black and white Jesus loves the little children of the world." Some people are born "color blind". Oh, that we could raise our children to be "color blind in their heart". Let us strive to be the kind of people who look at the inside and only see the best in others. As a Christian I am glad that the Lord loves me unconditionally. He sees my heart and knows the secret thoughts along with my past BUT He loves us in spite of it all. "Beloved, let us love one another. For love is of God and anyone that loveth is born of God and knoweth God. He that loveth not, knoweth not God for God is Love. So beloved, let us love one another." Do YOU know your neighbors? God's Word says to "Love your neighbor as yourself". WOW. If we don't even know our neighbors what does that say about ourselves. A real example of a GOOD Neighbor is the story of the GOOD Samaritan that Jesus told us. Luke 10:29-37

86. Martin Luther King Jr. Day Relates the history of the holiday. From MiamiDade County Public Schools. http://www.patriotism.org/mlk/

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day is an official holiday which has been celebrated on the third Monday of January since 1986. It is the first new holiday since 1948, when Memorial Day was created as a "prayer for peace" day. It is only the third this century, the other is Veterans Day, created as Armistice Day in 1926 to honor those who died in World War I. Dr. King is the only American besides George Washington to have a national holiday designated for his birthday (those of Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Robert E. Lee and others have been celebrated in some states but not nationwide. Internationally, King is one of the few social leaders of any country to be honored with a holiday (Mahatma Gandhi's birthday is observed in India). such status by a member of a country's racial minority is almost unheard of. Generally, the honor is reserved for military or religious figures. Consequently, this holiday is a powerful tribute to King's philosophy and stature. When President Reagan signed legislation creating the holiday in November of 1983, it marked the end of a persistent, highly organized lobbying effort spanning the nation for 15 years. "We worked hard to put together a national effort and make a powerful network," recalls Cedric Hendricks, legislative aide to Rep. John Conyers, Michigan Democrat. It was Conyers who, four days after King was assassinated in Memphis, submitted the first legislation to commemorate his birthday. Petitions carrying more than 6 million signatures said to be the largest petition drive in history were submitted to Congress in 1970. With help from New York Democratic Representative Shirley Chisholm, Conyers resubmitted the legislation during each congressional session.

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History KING, MARTIN LUTHER, JR. , civil rights leader. One of the world's best-known advocates of nonviolent social change, King was born in Atlanta. As a student at Morehouse College in Atlanta, at Crozer Theological Seminary in Pennsylvania, and at Boston University, he deepened his understanding of theological scholarship and of Mahatma Gandhi's nonviolent strategy for social change. He received a Ph.D. in theology in 1955 and became pastor of Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama. In December 1955, after Montgomery civil rights activist Rosa Parks refused to obey the city's policy mandating segregation on buses, black residents launched a bus boycott and elected King as president of the newly formed Montgomery Improvement Association. As the boycott continued during 1956, King gained national prominence for his exceptional oratorical skills and personal courage. His house was bombed, and he and other boycott leaders were convicted on charges of conspiring to interfere with the bus company's operations. But in December 1956 Montgomery's buses were desegregated when the Supreme Court declared Alabama's segregation laws unconstitutional. In 1957, seeking to build upon the success in Montgomery, King and other black ministers founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (
