Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day, THGers.
In honor of one of history’s most influential individuals – and during an unfortunate period in which race relations are a sensitive topic in America – a number of celebrities took to social media today to pay tribute to the late civil rights leader.
Here is a rundown of what stars from across various industries had to say…
