Last week, all 50 states celebrated the life and legacy of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. for the first time ever. The civil rights champion, had he lived, would have turned 87. The life and legacy of Rev. King will never be forgotten, as evidenced by a Twitter photo shared by his alma mater historically black Morehouse College in Atlanta.
