Did you know Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is “a day on, not a day off”? MLK Day is the only federal holiday designated as a national day of service to encourage all Americans to volunteer to improve their communities.
3 ways to honor #MLKDay in 2021:
1. Educate yourself on the relevance and historical context of MLK Day.
2. Support organizations that empower Black Communities.
3. Participate in a virtual event (@MLKDayParade is entirely virtual this year!)
