    A great American:

    Martin Luther King Jr. was a Baptist minister, deeply rooted in the African American Baptist tradition, serving at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, and drawing inspiration from his family of preachers and his theological education.

    One of many, he helped inspire millions in the Civil Rights movement. I am old enough to remember “I have a dream” on the mall:

    Thank you Dr. King for a life well lived.

    Agreed on all counts.

    But Dr. King and his 'I have a dream' crowd was not the biggest of Washington DC crowds. Because we all know that crowd size lead will forever belong to our current top nitwit in DC.
    :D

    Trunk removed free access to the National Parks for the MLK and Juneteenth Holidays, but made free access to the Parks for Flag Day which falls on his own birthday.

    April 20 was the holiday for whose birthday?
