Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Please join us as we celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Monday, January 20, 2025. This federal holiday honors Dr. King’s remarkable achievements, including his leadership in nonviolent activism and his pivotal role in fighting racial discrimination across the United States. His contributions to equality and justice continue to inspire generations.

Looking for meaningful ways to celebrate, here are some ideas:

• Community Service: Organize a small act of kindness, like making care packages for those in need.
• Watch & Reflect: Watch a video or read excerpts from Dr. King’s famous speeches, such as his “I Have a Dream” speech. Afterward, encourage a group discussion about his equality and peace messages and what they mean and apply today.
• Create Art: Make peace-themed art or write messages of hope and unity on cards, notes, or rocks to share with others.

By participating in these activities, we not only celebrate Dr. King’s legacy but also promote the values of unity, equality, and peace that he worked so hard to inspire.
