"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." Those are some of the words people remembered on Monday...
People all over the country honored the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., the civil rights activist who was known for his way with words and his determination to combat racial inequality with nonviolence. Efforts to create a federal holiday in honor of the civil rights icon began in 1968, just four days after he was assassinated. In 1983, President Ronald Reagan signed legislation creating Martin Luther King Jr. Day as a national holiday.
