These Curious Facts About The Past Will Reshape Anyone’s Sense Of Time

Anne Frank and Martin Luther King Jr. were born in the same year

It may not seem obvious, but Martin Luther King Jr. and Anne Frank have something in common. It doesn’t seem like a young Jewish girl from Germany would have much to do with an African American minister that spent his life fighting for equal rights for people of color.

For starters, they were both born in 1929. Furthermore, both were unjustly killed prematurely due to racism and evil. Anne was murdered when she was a teen by the Nazi Regime, while racist James Earl Ray assassinated Reverend King in Memphis, Tennessee.
