NEW YORK, 19 JANUARY 2009 - Increasingly
considered by historians as one of the founding fathers of
democracy in the United States and an influence on the

countries from Northern Ireland to China, millions of people
across the world now honor the legacy of service and social
justice to humanity by the American civil rights leader Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr. (15 January 1929 - 4 April 1968).
