Everyone should remember and celebrate this great civil rights leader and activist, who is mostly known for furthering the rights of black Americans. Whether you do this on his actual birthday, the government holiday, or even better - everyday, is up to you. Just don't forget what he has meant to the freedom of people, across the world.
