Thriving in the Dream! #MLK Day
Celebrating the life and legacy of
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. through action.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. – the figure who strived for progress in racial equity and equality during the modern civil rights movement. The only non-president to have a national holiday. A world leader who focused on change and progress. A changemaker working to help the Black community thrive.
Through his actions and his words, Dr. King personified service. Working closely with NAACP, Dr. King and the SCLC organized sit-ins in public spaces and the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963, which attracted 250,000 people to rally for the civil and economic rights of Black Americans in the nation’s capital. There, King delivered his majestic 17-minute “I Have a Dream” speech.
Now it’s our turn. Below, find ways to honor Dr. King and his commitment to civil rights through actions of your own that will help make his dream a reality.
