马丁·路德·金
马丁·路德·金（Martin Luther King, Jr., 1929年1月15日－1968年4月4日），出生于美国佐治亚州的亚特兰大市。 马丁·路德·金是著名的美国民权运动领袖，他于1963年8月28日在林肯纪念堂前发表了《我有一个梦想》（I Have a Dream）的演讲，迫使美国国会在1964年通过《民权法案》，宣布种族隔离和种族歧视政策为非法政策。1968年4月4日，马丁·路德·金前往
孟菲斯市领导工人罢工，遭枪击，遇害时年仅39岁。
作为黑人领袖，他生前赢得美国各阶层人民的广泛尊重和爱戴，为世界所关注，于1964年获得“诺贝尔和平奖”。为纪念这位伟人，1983年1月，总统纳德·里根签署法令，规定从1986年起，每年1月的第三个星期一为美国的“马丁·路德·金日”（Martin Luther King, Jr. Day） ，并且将其定为法定假日。
