| On Monday, January 21st, Americans will celebrate the life of an African-American and civil rights pioneer, Martin Luther King, Junior on the U.S. holiday commemorating his birth. King's actual birthday is January 15th.
King was a key figure in bringing about change at a time when much of the American South was still segregated - and millions of African-Americans faced discrimination, violence and intimidation.
