馬丁•路德•金恩出生於1929年的今天。他深受印度聖雄甘地非暴力反抗思想的啟示，領導美國民權運動，努力推倒歧視非洲裔美國人和其他少數族群的法律和制度壁壘。從1957年到1968年，金恩在美國各地走過六百多萬哩路，發表了2,500多次演講，領導了無數抗議遊行，被捕20多次。金恩於1964年榮獲諾貝爾和平獎，表彰他在民權運動所發揮的領導力。在獲獎的前一年，金恩領導了在華盛頓匯合的大遊行，並向25萬名群眾演講他的希望：「有一天……昔日奴隸的兒子能同昔日奴隸主的兒子同席而坐，親如兄弟……有一天，我的四個孩子將生活在一個不是以皮膚的顏色，而是以品格的優劣作為評判標準的國度裡。」金恩在1968年遭暗殺身亡，為紀念生於1月15日的金恩，每年一月份的第三個星期一也就成了聯邦假日 -- 馬丁•路德•金恩紀念日，紀念他的偉大貢獻，並鼓勵公民參加社區志願服務來延續他的精神。一起來認識這位民運領袖：https://share.america.gov/life-legacy-martin-luther-king-jr/#MartinLutherKing
Martin Luther King Jr. was born on this day in 1929. He was one of the most important voices of the American civil rights movement. Inspired by Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi’s use of nonviolent, civil disobedience, the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968), led America’s civil rights movement to eliminate legal and institutional barriers against African Americans and other minority groups. Between 1957 and 1968, King traveled more than six million miles, delivered more than 2,500 speeches, directed numerous protest marches, and was arrested more than 20 times. For his leadership, the Nobel Foundation awarded him the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1964. It came one year after Dr. King led a march on Washington, D.C., where, before a crowd of 250,000, he proclaimed his hope that “one day … the sons of formers slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood … that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. ” King was assassinated in 1968, but his birthday is now observed in the United States as a national holiday on the third Monday in January. It honors Dr. King’s legacy and challenges citizens to engage in volunteer service in their communities.

Sep. 24：Euripides, Horace Walpole, Pablo Neruda

Horatio Walpole, 4th Earl of Orford, also known as Horace Walpole, was an English art historian, man of letters, antiquarian and Whig politician. Wikipedia Born :  September 24, 1717,  London, United Kingdom Died :  March 2, 1797,  Berkeley Square, London, United Kingdom Movies :  Castle of Otranto Parents :  Robert Walpole ,  Catherine, Lady Walpole Quotes The world is a tragedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think. The whole secret of life is to be interested in one thing profoundly and in a thousand things well. Justice is rather the activity of truth, than a virtue in itself. Truth tells us what is due to others, and justice renders that due. Injustice is acting a lie.
