January 15th is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday, and his legacy is officially celebrated on the 3rd Monday in January, which is on the 21st this year. The former president of the USA Obama declared January “National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month” and February is traditionally called Black History Month in America. What better time than the beginning of the year to remind us of both human and civil rights, and fight against racism, inequality, and modern-day slavery? WebEnglish.se has several sources to study these issues: Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Civil Rights, Human Rights, Racism, Tolerance, Bullying, Slavery, and Modern Slavery.
