American Jewish groups on Monday paid their customary tributes to the most beloved leader in the US civil rights movement\u2019s history, as the country marked Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a national holiday.<\/span><\/p>\n

An Atlanta, GA-born Baptist minister, Dr. King emerged as a civil rights leader in the 1950s, as he brought international attention to the segregation and discrimination targeting African Americans across the \u201cJim Crow\u201d south. King was assassinated in Memphis in 1968 by a white supremacist.<\/span><\/p>\n

Throughout his career, King worked closely<\/a><\/strong><\/span> with Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel and other Jewish leaders to secure the civil rights of black people in America.<\/span><\/p>\n

Monday\u2019s tweets from Jewish organizations all paid tribute to King\u2019s legacy. Israeli diplomats in the US also expressed their admiration for his achievements and continuing influence.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. King inspired a generation and helped transform a nation. Here at IAN, we like to think we carry a little bit of his sprit in our work – whether that\u2019s bringing #<\/span>Jewish<\/span><\/a> people and African Americans together or Jewish Israelis and Palestinians. #<\/span>MLK<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
