jANUARY 2013 - In Honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (Visual Display)
Visit the Library during the month of January to experience the visual and educational display honoring Martin Luther King, Jr. Dr. King was an American clergyman, activist and prominent leader in the African-American Civil Rights Movement. He is best known for his role in the advancement of civil rights using nonviolent civil disobedience. During the less than 13 years of Dr. King’s leadership of the modern American Civil Rights Movement, from December 1955 until April 4, 1968, African Americans achieved more genuine progress toward racial equality in America than the previous 350 years had produced. Dr. King is widely regarded as America’s preeminent advocate of nonviolence and one of the greatest nonviolent leaders in world history.
