Today is America's official observance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday. In honor of Dr. King's work towards social equality and his legacy, America is celebrating him through a national day of service. Although federal offices are closed, all are encouraged to use the time off to make a difference in his/her community by volunteering. Hence, the reason it has been referred to by many as a day ON and not a day OFF.
Although Dr. King's birthday is celebrated in January, we all benefit from his accomplishments everyday. For that reason, do not stop at celebrating Dr. King and other heroes in your life on special occasions; instead, take advantage of every opportunity to honor your heroes everyday.
To find out about the many opportunities for young professionals to make honoring Dr. King's legacy in 2010 a success, visit MLKDay.gov.
