MLK Day is more than a reason the post offices are closed or you have the day off school — it’s a celebration of a life that was greater than mere human. Dr. King preached peace and not war as a means to unite races in a very different time and place. The south in the ‘50s and ‘60s was not a place for black people to safely go — Martin Luther King, Jr. was the instrumental figure in changing that, and instilling a new way of thinking in people. So maybe give a thought today to being a vessel of change in the world instead of just recovering from your extra day of weekend. Here are six YouTube creators who have said it better today than we could’ve:
6. WWE
5. All Def Digital
4. Reading Rainbow
3. ERB — Martin Luther King, Jr. vs. Ghandhi
2. The Last Speech of Dr. MLK
