MTV star Victoria Justice shared a picture of Dr. King marching. The image also had words written on it, and Justice decided to focus on the importance of King.
"Today we celebrate a man who fought violence w/ peace & hate w/ love," she said in the caption. "Martin Luther King Jr. you're a hero. #TheDreamLivesOn."
Hilaria Baldwin's message was a little more minimal. She shared a quote written on a plain white background. The Spanish celebrity added her own message to agree with Dr. King's stance on non-violence.
