Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Let’s take a moment to recognize the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

As the face of the American Civil Rights Movement, Dr. King faced immense scrutiny, but he still chose to risk his life daily to push for equality and freedom for all people. Among Dr. King’s many accomplishments:

• Spokesman for the Montgomery Bus Boycott
• Winner of the Nobel Peace Prize
• Force behind the march on Washington where his “I Have a Dream” speech pushed Congress to pass the 1965 Voting Rights Act.

This also a day of introspection, service, and dedication to the values Dr. King championed. Some ways to celebrate:

• Community service: Volunteer at local organizations and food banks that support marginalized communities.
• 💰 Support minority-owned business: Shop local and consider partnerships that promote economic empowerment.
• 💬 Discussions and workshops: Encourage open discussions and workshops to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion. Create a safe space for your team to share their experiences and perspectives.
