“On Monday, January 19th,
Americans across the country
honored the life and legacy of
Dr.Martin Luther King, Jr. As
they have for thirteen years,
students stayed home from
school and adults (some) will
not go to work. But while they
are not working or studying,
what can they do to really
commemorate the day? King
answered that question with a
challenge: “Life’s persistent
and most urgent question is:
What are you doing for
others?”, said Harris Wofford,
CEO of the Corporation for
National Service.
Coretta Scott King, Chair
person of the King Commis
sion said, “The greatest birth
day gift my husband could
receive is if people of all racial
and ethnic backgrounds cele
brated the holiday by per
forming individual acts of
kindness through service to
others. Remember, it’s not a
day off - it’s day on!”
Working closely with the
King Commission, this is the
fourth year that the Corpora
tion for National Service has
spearheaded efforts to fulfill
the King Holiday and Service
Act of 1994, which seeks to
transform the observance of
King’s birthday into a day of
service that reflects his life
and teaching.
