  2. In Remembrance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.January 15, 1929- April 4, 1968 We march for Freedom… Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a civil rights leader, vital to the progression of equality among all races.During his lifetime he traveled over six million miles and spoke over twenty-five hundred times, arrested more than twenty times and assaulted at least four times, appearing wherever there was injustice, protest and action. We march for Equality… He was notably the leader of the first non-violent demonstration of contemporary times in the United States, this was a boycott of the bus system in Alabama that allowed segregation between blacks and whites.The boycott lasted 382 days. On December 21, 1956, the Supreme Court declared this unconstitutional and it was overturned. We march for Unity… He led the peaceful march on Washington D.C., of 250,000 people to whom he delivered his famous, “I have a Dream” speech about a day when there would be equality throughout the United States. The change in times have evolved the meaning, but the message is still the same.
