Observed on the third Monday of January each year, Martin Luther King Jr. Day was officially signed into law in 1983. Dr. King dedicated his life to the non-violent struggle for civil rights and played a pivotal role in the creation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In Dr. King's own words, "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."

Share with us below how you will remember Dr. King this year.
