Martin Luther King Holiday


The Martin Luther King Holiday is a day of remembrance and service. We remember the man who dedicated his life to equality, to basic human rights. The nation recognizes his contribution and sacrifice by not just taking a day off but taking a day on for volunteerism. It is one of many opportunities to be charitable to those less fortunate. We salute those who regularly give to others in need and we use this day to teach our children the importance of giving.

When I think of legacy in its broadest sense, it is about those intangible things we leave behind. The legacy of Martin Luther King is one of Peace, Social Change, Justice, Non-Violence and Equality. Each of us has a legacy big or small that makes a difference for the next generation, whether it is your nation, your community or your family. Think about it!! Plan for it!! YOU MATTER!!

Celebrate this day in your own way to honor one man's legacy!!!
