Hawaii celebrated the Martin Luther King Day holiday with a parade through Waikiki and a rally at Kapiolani Park in Honolulu. The holiday honors Martin Luther King, Jr., a Baptist minister from Montgomery, Alabama, who was one of the leaders of the civil rights movement to end discrimination against Black Americans, and who spoke eloquently against poverty and the US war in Vietnam.
