In 2012, Martin Luther King. Jr. Day is January 16th. This holiday celebrates the life of a Civil Rights activist and inspirational leader. 21st century Americans face new struggles. And just as in the 1960s, there are always songs to recognize and honor our goals and pay tribute to those who will deliver our future triumph.
 
Lady Gaga – “Born This Way”
 
Aerosmith – “Dream On”
 
My Chemical Romance – “Sing”
 
Stevie Wonder – “Village Ghetto Land”
 
Billy Joel – “My Life”
 
Michael Jackson – “They Don’t Really Care About Us”
 
Garth Brooks – “We Shall Be Free”
