What does this answer mean?
Martin Luther King, Jr. is famous for many things, and you only need to name one. USCIS accepts three: he fought for civil rights, worked for equality for all Americans, and worked to ensure that people would "not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
King was one of the best-known leaders of the civil rights movement, which fought to end racial discrimination.
The third answer comes from his "I Have a Dream" speech, which he gave on August 28, 1963, during the March on Washington, when more than 250,000 people gathered in the capital. The march helped build support for the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Today, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is a national holiday, which is one of the answers to the question that asks you to name three national U.S. holidays.
This is one of the 20 questions on the 65/20 list. At the interview, say "fought for civil rights."
