Martin Luther King Jr. Day is observed on the third Monday
of January each year to pay honor to Dr. King and to the principles for
which he lived and died. The holiday also celebrates the life and contributions
of Martin Luther King Jr. and the history of the civil rights movement
in the United States.
To celebrate the event this year, we have compiled a bibliography
consisting of books, journal articles, videos and websites on Martin Luther
King, Jr. and the civil rights movement.
