“Everybody
can be great, because everybody can serve.”
-Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Every January, Americans across the country
celebrate the national holiday honoring the life and work
of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. As they have since 1995, hundreds
of thousands of Americans will remember Dr. King by participating
in service projects in their communities. Together, they will
honor King’s legacy of tolerance, peace, and equality
by meeting community needs and making the holiday “A
day ON, not a day OFF.”
During his lifetime, Dr. King sought to forge
the common ground on which people from all walks of life could
join together to address important community issues. Working
alongside individuals of all ages, races and backgrounds,
Dr. King encouraged Americans to come together to strengthen
communities, alleviate poverty, and acknowledge dignity and
respect for all human beings. Service, he realized, was the
great equalizer.
