Celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.


Today is the opportunity to do something nice for someone. It doesn't even have to be much. A smile, a helping hand, or even a kind word. Happy Birthday Dr. King.  He would have been 81 on this past Friday.

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is not only for celebration and remembrance, education and tribute, but above all a day of service. All across America on the Holiday, his followers perform service in hospitals and shelters and prisons and wherever people need some help. It is a day of volunteering to feed the hungry, rehabilitate housing, tutoring those who can’t read, mentoring at-risk youngsters, consoling the broken-hearted and a thousand other projects for building the beloved community of his dream.
