April 4, 1968<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In the United States, Martin Luther King, Jr., Day\u00a0is observed annually on the third Monday in January. The day commemorates the life and work of\u00a0Dr. King, who was a Baptist minister and prominent leader in the American civil rights movement. People are encouraged to use the day to \u201creflect on the principles of racial equality and nonviolent social change espoused by Dr. King.\u201d The holiday is typically observed with events such as marches and rallies and speeches by politicians and civil rights leaders.<\/p>\n<p>Efforts to create a national holiday honoring King began soon after his assassination, although legislation for a federal holiday was not passed until 1983. The first nationwide observance of the holiday occurred in 1986.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/story\/martin-luther-king-jr-day\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;MLK Day is the only federal holiday that is also designated by Congress as a national day of service \u2013 a \u201cday on, not a day off.\u201d Participation in service activities has grown each year as more Americans are encouraged to provide meaningful change in their communities.\u00a0 Whether service meets a tangible need, such as fixing up a school or senior center, builds a sense of community or mutual responsibility. In a pandemic environment, service can take on the form of sending a meal through a meal delivery service, serving as a virtual mentor, or donating money to a charitable cause to help those who lack basic essential items.<\/p>\n<p>No matter the choice, service empowers individuals, strengthens communities, bridges barriers, creates solutions and moves us closer to Dr. King\u2019s vision of a beloved community. It breaks down barriers by bringing people from different backgrounds together and it benefits those who choose to serve. Coretta Scott King said, \u201cThe greatest birthday gift my husband could receive is if people of all racial and ethnic backgrounds celebrated the holiday by performing individual acts of kindness through service to others.\u201d <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.doi.gov\/pmb\/eeo\/mlk-day-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source: US Department of the

There is a sort of poverty of the spirit which stands in glaring contrast to our scientific and technological abundance. The richer we have become materially, the poorer we have become morally and spiritually. We have learned to fly the air like birds and swim the sea like fish, but we have not learned the simple art of living together as brothers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Martin Luther King, Jr.\u2019s Nobel Peace Prize Lecture from Oslo, 11 Dec. 1964 (full audio) | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=u71K76y7jf8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NobelPrize<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-cgcfv6-9874cf8b297b4f089c66b0eda5cac56d av_one_third  avia-builder-el-39  el_after_av_one_third  el_before_av_hr  flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><p><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-343j8s2-4f59f928a7554df61c7d793270c6f0f2\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-343j8s2-4f59f928a7554df61c7d793270c6f0f2{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-343j8s2-4f59f928a7554df61c7d793270c6f0f2 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-343j8s2-4f59f928a7554df61c7d793270c6f0f2 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-343j8s2-4f59f928a7554df61c7d793270c6f0f2 av-special-heading-h3  avia-builder-el-41  el_after_av_codeblock  el_before_av_textblock '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  ><span class='special_amp'>\u201c<\/span>The American Dream<span class='special_amp'>\u201d<\/span> (1965)<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-2n05lwy-8c2d7b7aaa1b8b61d7b20c57fbd58e9c '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>&#8220;I would like to discuss some of the problems that we confront in the world today, and some of the problems that we confront in our own nation by using as a subject The American Dream.

Certain conditions continue to exist in our society which must be condemned as vigorously as we condemn riots. But in the final analysis, a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it that America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the plight of the Negro poor has worsened over the last few years. It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice, equality, and humanity. And so in a real sense our nation\u2019s summers of riots are caused by our nation\u2019s winters of delay. And as long as America postpones justice, we stand in the position of having these recurrences of violence and riots over and over again. Social justice and progress are the absolute guarantors of riot prevention.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>MLK: The Other America | <a class=\"yt-simple-endpoint style-scope yt-formatted-string\" dir=\"auto\" spellcheck=\"false\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dOWDtDUKz-U&amp;t=1s\">The Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lcv4bww9-b5002df6ab396c4ea0e41071af848a92\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-lcv4bww9-b5002df6ab396c4ea0e41071af848a92{\nheight:100px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-lcv4bww9-b5002df6ab396c4ea0e41071af848a92 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-56  el_after_av_one_third  el_before_av_one_third '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div  class='flex_column av-wux21e-91a3f08f284df70dcabc4c3bfb659f02 av_one_third  avia-builder-el-57  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_one_third  first flex_column_div  '     ><p><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lcv4etvf-8c5c5443e009a1a0154e42403523d92a\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-lcv4etvf-8c5c5443e009a1a0154e42403523d92a{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-lcv4etvf-8c5c5443e009a1a0154e42403523d92a .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-lcv4etvf-8c5c5443e009a1a0154e42403523d92a .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-lcv4etvf-8c5c5443e009a1a0154e42403523d92a av-special-heading-h3  avia-builder-el-59  el_after_av_codeblock  el_before_av_textblock '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  ><span class='special_amp'>\u201c<\/span>Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence<span class='special_amp'>\u201d<\/span> (1967)<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lcv4fmd4-95da3c4c3ca3dd7a1df15125947bcab5 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>\u201cIf America\u2019s soul becomes totally poisoned, part of the autopsy must read \u2018Vietnam.\u2019 It can never be saved so long as it destroys the deepest hopes of men the world over.
