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,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。
