Pope Francis honored civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on the commemoration of his birthday today (January 18, 2021) , saying his message of equality through peaceful means remains more timely than ever, the AP website reports.
Francis also sent a message of prayer today to King's daughter, the Rev. Bernice King, with whom the pontiff met in 2018.
King called for unity, not division, and extinguishing hatred and "not holding onto it," the pope said.
