美國民衆馬丁·路德·金日弘揚社區精神

Americans on Monday celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day, honoring a man who embodied the U.S. civil rights movement and who understood that the success of the movement depended on its nonviolent principles.

Every year on the third Monday in January, Americans honor the slain civil rights leader who in the 1950s and 1960s organized nonviolent protests against Southern segregation, the struggle for black equality and voting rights.

Many around the country spend the holiday commemorating King's tireless work to end racism by participating in community service projects. The U.S. Congress honored that community spirit in 1994 by designating the King holiday as a national day of service.

President Donald Trump paid tribute to King during a ceremony in Washington Friday, praising his “peaceful crusade for justice and equality.”美國民衆星期天慶祝馬丁·路德·金日，紀念美國民權運動的著名領導人馬丁·路德·金。他在領導民權時堅持非暴力理念。

馬丁·路德·金日是每年一月的第三個星期一。美國人民在這一天紀念這位20世紀50年代和60年代領導民權運動的領袖。他在美國南方組織了反對種族隔離的抗議，以及爲黑人爭取平等和選舉權的運動。

美國各地有很多民衆通過社區服務來紀念馬丁·路德·金爲終止種族主義付出的努力。美國國會1994年爲鼓勵這種社區精神，將馬丁·路德·金日定位聯邦假日。

川普總統星期五在華盛頓參加了一個紀念馬丁·路德·金的活動，讚揚他爲公正與平等而進行的非暴力奮鬥。
