Get Involved Virtually on MLK Day
MLK Day has become not only a day of remembrance that celebrates the life and achievements of the influential American civil rights leader, but a day of service for all Americans to help those in need, reflect on his message and acknowledge that there is still work to be done to end social injustice for people of color in our country.
