Perhaps one of the most influential figures in US history, Martin Luther King, Jr. is a name that almost every American knows. Being one of the central figures of the Civil Rights Movement, he encouraged nonviolent activism in the face of injustice.

 

Born on January 15, 1929, in Atlanta, Georgia, the world-renowned civic leader was known to have moved people's hearts through his public speaking, especially during the March of Washington in 1963, where he delivered the famous 'I Have a Dream' speech. In this speech, he dreamed of a future where people were treated equally and were measured by their character, instead of the color of their skin.

 

National and Community Events

 

Martin Luther King, Jr. is a courageous hero who helped change the country and encouraged people to right a historical wrong. To reward that and keep his spirit alive, people across the country celebrate in parades, rallies, and other community activities. Some cities present dramatized versions of King's speeches, while others hold marches in his honor.

 

During this month, you can expect schools and museums to do special presentations to help children appreciate that Martin Luther King Jr. played a role in American history. Those living in Florida can expect even bigger celebrations as the civic leader's home state, with a memorial service held at the Ebenezer Baptist Church every year, where he used to preach.

 

Volunteerism

 

Since MLK Day is known as a National Day of Service, many people often show efforts of volunteerism and charity in honor of Martin Luther King. Additionally, many people take advantage of the holiday by holding food drives, cleaning parks, or helping school children.

 

It helps one fulfill Dr. King's principles on how "everybody can be great because everybody can serve." Whether you spend an hour alone or the entire day full of service, it is an excellent chance to meet people and let the flame of Martin Luther King’s commitment to service burn bright.
