Why we Celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day

During his lifetime, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. 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.  He believed that service was the great equalizer.

On January 15, 2007, as we celebrate the 21st anniversary of the Martin Luther King, Jr. federal holiday, Americans across the country will celebrate by honoring the life and work of Dr. King.  Hundreds of thousands of Americans will remember and memorialize 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.”
