A day on, not a day off
Two weeks from now on Monday January 21st, we will celebrate Martin Luther King Jr Day with what will be for many a day off of work or school. In 1994 Congress passed the King Holiday and Service Act, designating the King Holiday as a national day of volunteer service. Instead of a day off from work or school, Congress asked Americans of all backgrounds and ages to celebrate Dr. King's legacy by turning community concerns into citizen action.
