Forces for Good: Martin Luther King, Jr. (and you!)

Where I live, each year on Martin Luther King Day, groups of college students pay calls on local businesses. By the day’s end, they’ve tackled the hard work, raised funds, and/or made important impacts in countless, priceless ways. For anyone looking to connect with projects for MLK Day, nowadays there are many resources, including MLKDay.gov. Even in his absence, the one-of-a-kind visionary and leader Martin Luther King Jr. continues to set himself apart.

We are immensely grateful for the service of Mr. King, his father and mother Martin and Alberta, everyone in his family, and everyone giving what they have to keep his dream alive.
