Celebrate MLK Day with Parades and Reflections on Dr. King's Legacy

Civil Rights - History - Martin Luther King Jr. - MLK Day - Social Justice

Join the festivities and learn more about the life and impact of Martin Luther King Jr. on this special holiday!

Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a time to honor and remember the influential civil rights leader. Communities across the United States come together with parades, unity marches, and festivals to celebrate Dr. King's legacy of fighting for racial justice. This year, as we commemorate his actual birthday on Jan. 15, let's reflect on the radical message of change that Dr. King advocated for. It's not just a day off but a day to educate ourselves on his teachings and continue the work towards equality and justice. From scholarship breakfasts to environmental justice campaigns, there are various ways to pay tribute to his vision.

As we immerse ourselves in the spirit of MLK Day, let's not forget the importance of collective action against racism, as highlighted by the US bishops. Dr. King's image may have been sanitized over the years, but his call for revolutionary change remains relevant today. Take this opportunity to learn more about his life, read his powerful speeches, and engage in discussions on how we can uphold his values in our communities. Let's make this MLK Day more than just a day off work – let's make it a day of reflection, action, and unity.
