Martin Luther King Jr. Day: Why are you thankful? On April 5,
1968, President Lyndon B. Johnson declared a day of national
mourning, saying in part: "Men of all races, all religions, all
regions must join together in this hour to deny violence its
victory -- and to fulfill the vision of brotherhood that gave
purpose to Martin Luther King's life and work. ... In our
churches, in our homes, and in our private hearts, let us
resolve before God to stand against divisiveness in our country
and all its consequences." On Monday, for the 43rd year, the
country will pause in remembrance of Martin Luther King Jr. This
year will mark an even bigger tribute with the Martin Luther
King Jr. Memorial, slated to open in August in Washington. (Read

asked readers how King inspired them. This year, we want to know
why you're thankful for the man and the legacy he left the
United States.What debt of gratitude do you owe to Martin Luther
