  The third Monday of January is a day on which America reflects on its past, prays for its future, and remembers the achievements of Martin Luther King Jr. Born on January 15, 1929, King was the man who led the black American struggle for equal rights in the 1950s and 60s.

  King grew up in the American south, brought up by a deeply religious family. He studied theology in school and, while still a college student, became fascinated with Mahatma Ghandi's philosophy of passive resistance. King's religious beliefs, paired with Ghandi's teachings, would later become the cornerstones of his strategy for bringing about changes for blacks in America.

  In 1954, King earned his PhD from Boston University and moved to Montgomery, Alabama,swhereshe accepted a job as pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church. Little did he know that this sleepy Alabama city would soon erupt in civil disobedience and marches-and that he would lead them.

缅怀马丁-路德-金先生

  一月的第三个星期一是美国反省过去、祈祷未来和缅怀马丁-路德-金成就的日子。金出生于1929年1月15日,他在五六十年代曾领导美国黑人争取平等权利。

  金在美国南部长大,生长在信仰虔诚的家庭中。他在中学就研究过神学,而大学期间他开始沉迷于甘地的消极抵抗哲学。金的宗教信仰结合了甘地的教诲,后来就成为他给美国黑人生活带来变化的战略奠基石。

  1954年,金获得了波士顿大学的博士学位,之后他迁往阿拉巴马州的蒙哥马利,在那儿他担任了德克斯特街浸信会的牧师一职。金没有想到死气沉沉的阿拉巴马市即将爆发不合作运动和游行,而自己会领导他们。
