MLK is most famous, for his \u201cI had a dream\u2026\u201d speech, but the reality of civil rights activism is that it\u2019s less about rallies and speeches and more a daily struggle for the most mundane of rights \u2013 a struggle that is played out in factories, playgrounds, homes and schools, well away from the cameras and microphones.<\/p>\n

Martin Luther King<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

King was in Memphis in April 1968 to support African American sanitation workers who were deprived of the most basic of rights that their white counterparts enjoyed \u2013 the right to shelter from the rain, the right to shower after their shift, the lack of overtime payments. The final straw came when 2 black workers were crushed to death by a malfunctioning garbage truck and their families were barely compensated. The workers went on strike, and MLK went to support them.<\/p>\n

In recognition of King\u2019s contribution to the struggle for equality, Illinois was the first US state to acknowledge the holiday, and King was the first African American to have a national holiday in his honour.<\/p>\n

March<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The international struggle for equality continues. As King himself said, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”<\/p>\n
