Martin Although King's legacy is something we celebrate every year, however, this year has been the most affected year, more than any other year. After the shooting deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner, who were both died at the hands of white police officers who went unpunished and uncharged for what they did, and the two uniformed New York City policemen shot in cold blood, this caused racial tensions to increase.
In addition, to celebrate this day the cast of Selma re-enacted the march that was taken place 50 years ago in honour of MLK Day.

Some of Martin Luther King's famous quotes -
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
"If you can't fly, then run, if you can't run, then walk, if you can't walk, then crawl. But whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward."
"I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. That is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant."
"Let no man pull you so low as to hate him."
"Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity."
"I have decided to stick to love...hate is too great a burden to bear."
"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.'"
"It all boils down to the fact that we must never allow ourselves to become satisfied with unattained goals. We must always maintain a kind of divine discontent."
"Don't give it up. Keep feeling the need for being important. Keep feeling the need for being first. But I want you to be the first in love. I want you to be the first in moral excellence. I want you to be the first in generosity."
