Across America, January 16, 2017 is celebrated as Martin Luther King's day (today he'll have been 88 years old).

To celebrate the day, US president elect, Donald Trump had a meeting with Martin Luther King Jr.'s son to discuss the civil rights leader's legacy.

After the meeting that held at Trump Towers, Martin Luther King III said that he had "a very constructive meeting" with the president-elect and touched on how he hopes to be a "bridge-builder" to help the country "become a greater nation" moving forward.

"The goal is to bring America together," King said in the lobby of Trump Tower this afternoon.

Afterwards, Trump took to Twitter to say, 'Celebrate Martin Luther King Day and all of the many wonderful things that he stood for. Honor him for being the great man that he was'.
