Martin Luther King Day is a federal holiday held on the third Monday of January. It celebrates the life and achievements of Martin Luther King Jr., an influential American civil rights leader. He is most well-known for his campaigns to end racial segregation on public transport and for racial equality in the United States.

Hear from Natonal Treasure, Jesse Epps, who  was one of Dr. King's best friends and closest confidants.  Jesse was with Dr. King on the day Dr. King was assassinated.  He believes his life was spared so he could  further the mission of Dr. King.

Jesse is the Founder of the National Union of American Families (NUAF).
