Did You Know? On December 16, 1961, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was arrested during a peaceful demonstration in Albany, Georgia. Charged with “obstructing the sidewalk” and “parading without a permit,” his arrest became a defining moment in the Albany Movement, a coalition aimed at desegregating public facilities in the city. #DidYouKnow #MLK #AlbanyMovement #CivilRights #Nonviolence365
