Martin Luther King Day: A Commemoration and a
Call to Action
As we celebrate Dr. King's life of service and sacrifice, let's acknowledge that his message is as relevant today as it was during his time. He implored us to not only dream of a world where diversity is celebrated, equity prevails, and inclusion and belonging abound, but he also urged us to work for more profound systemic change to make this vision of justice a reality.
Dr. King envisioned a nation of freedom and justice for all. He encouraged citizens to practice nonviolence and work to end militarism, poverty, and racism, which he called "the three evils of society." So, as we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, let's examine why and how we champion his commitment to equity. Let's consider his call to action in this famous quote:
"Life's most persistent and urgent question is, What are you doing for others?"
In the spirit of Dr. King's dream, let this day be an opportunity to celebrate our shared humanity, reflect on progress made, and "rededicate ourselves to the long and bitter but beautiful struggle for a new world."
