Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service


Martin Luther King Jr. was a revolutionary. His public disapproval rating was nearly 75% when he was assassinated in 1968.

Today he is rightly, widely revered. His achievements and courage inspire activists and millions of believers that one day all people will enjoy equal rights.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?” Dr. King said in a 1957 sermon.
