With Martin Luther King day coming up, it’s a good time to take time to remember a man who’s words touched lives and changed minds. Martin Luther King Jr. was a baptist minister who played an important role in the American civil rights movement.

The head of NAACP Hawaii says Dr. King would say that we strayed too far from the belief that all people are created equally.

Martin Luther King Jr., a reverend and civil-rights activist, was assassinated at 39. However, he inspired several movements and political changes.
