Martin Luther King
Martin Luther King Jr. was born and raised in the American
South, but his dream of racial equality and social justice
reverberated out of his region, into the whole country and
around the world. And it wasn’t just his vision that spanned

You can honor him on Martin Luther King Jr. Day (Monday,
January 15) – or any other time of year – by walking in his
footsteps figuratively or literally.
