Many in the United States got the day off work Monday in celebration of the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a civil rights leader and minister credited with bringing equal rights to African Americans, and tangentially, many other minority groups. Even after his assassination in 1968, his legacy as well as his moving speeches have inspired people to follow in Dr. King's path.
In honor of today, we collected some of the most widely shared MLK quotes from Tumblr, where they have been posted as uplifting messages to others. Click through the slideshow to see them all.
