Believe In Yourself

Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a Federal Holiday that is celebrated in the USA on the third Monday in January every year, and it comes around the Reverend Dr. King's actual birthday on January 15th. In the Civil Rights Movement, Dr. King was the chief spokesperson for nonviolent activism, and he led successful protests against racial discrimination in Federal and States Laws. He thought that all people could be what they want, and he strongly instilled in people to 'Believe in Yourself' to help to successfully maneuver life's challenges. I used the Paint program on my computer to create this portrait of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr- 1929-1968.
