A Holiday Martin Luther King Jr Day party celebration is always fun.
One of the most special Holidays is the Martin Luther King Jr Day as it’s an observance day that takes place in January and this recognized man made a difference here in the United States and his name should be considered. Celebrate this day with balloons, party favors, decorations, and many party supplies. Invite the family over for some food and games and don’t forget to give the children some goodies. You can give them imprinted coloring books, history books or simply pens and pencils to keep. Dr. Martin Luther King is a man who used passive resistance to fight for civil rights. He reminded our government of its promise to the American people and the reason this country was created. He demanded the government to honor the words of the Declaration of Independence, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Martin Luther King Jr. was born at noon Tuesday, January 15, 1929, Atlanta, Georgia. He married the former Coretta Scott on June 18, 1953. In September of 1951, Martin Luther King began doctoral studies in Systematic Theology at Boston University. He also studied at Harvard University. His dissertation, "A Comparison of God in the Thinking of Paul Tillich and Henry Wieman," was completed in 1955, and the Ph.D. degree from Boston, a Doctorate of Philosophy in Systematic Theology, was awarded on June 5, 1955. Dr. King was a pivotal figure in the Civil Rights Movement. He was elected president of the Montgomery Improvement Association, the organization which was responsible for the successful Montgomery Bus Boycott from 1955 to 1956. He was arrested thirty times for his participation in civil rights activities. He was a founder and president of Southern Christian Leadership Conference from 1957 to 1968. Dr. King's speech at the march on Washington in 1963, his acceptance speech of the Nobel Peace Prize, his last sermon at Ebenezer Baptist Church, and his final speech in Memphis are among his most famous. Dr. King was shot while standing on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee on April 4, 1968, by James Earl Ray. James Earl Ray was arrested in London, England on June 8, 1968 and returned to Memphis, Tennessee to stand trial for the assassination of Dr. King. Martin Luther King Jr. Day party supplies like paper plates, napkins, and cups are a perfect way to complete a Martin Luther King Jr. Day Party Theme. Party decorations like inflatables, and beads ad to the magic of an American celebration. Martin Luther King Jr. Day loot bags tucked in basket or pinatas can be used as a centerpiece and double as party prizes.
