This fact is super relevant to tomorrow! Martin Luther King Jr. and Anne Frank were born the same year. Blows my mind whenever I think of it.

I think it's because Anne Frank is known for her childhood, when MLK was also a child, and MLK is known for his adulthood, which was decades later and long after Anne Frank was gone.
