Martin Luther King Jr. Day, celebrated on the third Monday of January, is much more than a day off from school. It is a day to honor and remember a man who played a pivotal role in the American civil rights movement. Martin Luther King Jr. was a tireless advocate for racial equality who gave voice to the struggles of many and envisioned a world where people are judged by their character, not their color. People across the country commemorate this day by participating in parades, volunteering in their communities, or educating themselves about the history of the civil rights movement. Ask yourself, how can you contribute to King's vision of equality in your own life? Remember, every action, no matter how small, counts towards creating a more just world. The fight for equality didn't end with King; it continues with us.
