MARTIN LUTHER KING, Jr Day commemorating the birthday (Jan 15th) of the great public activist and clergyman. In 1964, at the age of thirty-five Martin Luther King, Jr was the youngest man to achieve the Nobel Peace Prize. he turned his prize money over to the civil rights movement. One place where this day is observed as important is in the Japanese city of Hiroshima under mayor Tadatoshi Akiba, who holds a special banquet at the mayor's office as an act of unifying his city's call for peace with King's message of human rights. Arigato!
