Remembering DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.

Today, January 15, would have been Dr. King’s 94th birthday.

Dr. King’s holiday is celebrated on  Monday, January 16, 2023.

Dr. King was assassinated at the age of 39, in Memphis Tennessee. The holiday will be a time when many observe it as a day of service in the community.

Dr. King’s belief in non-violence would be something that the nation as a whole could pause and reflect upon .For those of us who will observe the holiday, simply remembering the man himself, and what he stood for, would in itself be a way to pay tribute to Dr. King.
