Forty years ago tomorrow, April 04 2008, Civil Rights leader Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was standing on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee, when he was struck down by an assassinâ??s bullet. He was 39 year old.

Thousands will reverently commemorate the fortieth anniversary of his assassination. They will converge on Memphis and Atlanta, Kingâ??s birthplace, and join in symposia, conferences and intimate church gatherings across the nation.

At those gatherings, people will inevitably be asking themselves: how much has changed since we lost Dr. King four decades ago? How far have we come since his death? How far must we still travel to realize his vision for our nation?

Martin Luther King Jr. Day
Each year on the third Monday of January we celebrate the birth, the life and the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

"I have a dream…
I have a dream that one day little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers
I have a dream today"

It is a time for the nation to remember the injustices that Dr. King fought. A time to remember his fight for the freedom, equality, and dignity of all races and peoples. A time to remember the message of change through nonviolence.

So visit our celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr. for more on the man and the holiday. And check out the Video and Text of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” Speech. In its entirety.

As has become standard these past years Google leads the way with search engine logos reflecting the celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. I’m really liking this years logo.

And a new entry this year is Ask.com with their whole front page dedicated to Dr. King. Nice interpretation.

And what about Yahoo! this year? Just their plain every day logo? That’s odd.

 Hey - Whats up Yahoo! ??

Part of the aim of Black History Month is to expose the harms of racial prejudice and to cultivate black self-esteem following centuries of socio-economic oppression. It is also an opportunity to recognize significant contributions to society made by people with African heritage.*
