On Monday, January 19th, we remembered and celebrated Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., an iconic leader in the Civil Rights Movement, a PhD, a Preacher, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, an author, and most importantly, a devoted husband and father. Dr. King believed that every individual is created equal and deserves respect, dignity, and “the unalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” as promised in our U.S. Declaration of Independence, which he stated is the cornerstone of American Democracy.
