Honoring the Memory of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Today, Monday, January 19, we celebrate the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This day is the only national holiday honoring a Black American. Dr. King’s legacy of civil rights and nonviolent resistance serves as a National Day of Service to build community and promote justice: “a day on, not a day off.” It is a time to reflect on, rejoice in, and recommit to honor the enduring legacy of Dr. King and the transformative power of his vision. It is also a time to remember that even in the darkest times, the seeds of justice are being sown by the actions of millions of people uniting for a future of harmony, love and goodwill.
