CELEBRATING MLK WITH A DAY OF SERVICE

Each year on the third Monday of January, America honors the birth, life, and dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. MLK Day is the only national holiday designated as a national day of service to encourage all Americans to volunteer to improve their communities. Let’s not forget the many injustices that people of color faced in 2020, for MLK would want us to continue to preserve and create change within our communities in 2021. This January, let’s remember his fight for the freedom, equality, and dignity of all races and peoples through nonviolence. Be sure to check out here our January suggested media list that focuses on Martin Luther King Jr. and ways you can serve.
