Happy birthday to the man that fought countless days and nights to end the deep-rooted culture of racial injustice. Although the fight against racial injustice isn’t over, Dr. King showed us that we should always fight for what we believe in. Even if it means sacrificing everything. Happy Birthday to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Your fight and commitment for equity, inclusion and community will never be forgotten.
