Atlanta, Georgia on January 15, 1929. He became a
minister and dedicated his life to achieving equality and
justice for people of all colors.

demonstrations during the civil rights movement. He

he holiday into law in 1983, and it was first observed three
years later. At first, some states resisted observing the
holiday. It was officially observed in all 50 states for the
first time in 2000.
