Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a Baptist minister and civil rights leader whose legacy played a significant role in advancing equality and justice, including the passage of the U.S. Fair Housing Act of 1968. Since 1986, his birthday has been recognized as a federal holiday and a day of service.


"Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'"
