"While others were advocating for freedom by 'any means necessary,' including violence, Martin Luther King Jr. used the power of words and acts of nonviolent resistance, such as protests, grassroots organizing, and civil disobedience to achieve seemingly impossible goals," according to The King Center.

The US will honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on MLK Day, recognized as a National Day of Service. King, known for his role in the Civil Rights movement and his advocacy for nonviolence, is celebrated for his efforts to end segregation and racism.

The political media calls Trump a “populist.” But as Dr. King made clear in a 1965 speech, American populism was a movement against everything Trump stands for.
