King, born Jan. 15, 1929, led a non-violent resistance movement that brought about massive changes in American culture and paved the way for the end of segregation and expansion of human rights.
King was assassinated in Memphis, Tenn. on April 4, 1968 at the age of 39. His legacy is celebrated each year with the holiday named in his honor. MLK Day is a federal holiday, though it was not made official until 18 years after his assassination.
