In honor of the life and service of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (a civil rights activist), we have posted one of his famous speeches and perhaps one of the best speeches ever given. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. Dr. King once said, “Life's most persistent and urgent question is: 'What are you doing for others?”. In 1994, Congress passed the King Holiday and Service Act which encourages Americans to volunteer on that day. Each year Americans use this day to serve their communities. I encourage you all to serve your community not only today but throughout the year. When we serve others, we are contributing to making the world a better place.
