1929-1968Today is a very important day in our nation's history.
It is a day we have set aside to commemorate the life and legacy of one of the most influential men in the Civil Rights movement and Black History in general. His life's work was dedicated to giving his time and talents to better the situation of those around him.
As we celebrate his day this year, let's not only look at it as a day off from work, instead let us take the time to get involved in our communities and help out in any way we can. Check out http://www.serve.gov/ for community outreach ideas or with your local organizations. If time does not permit today, then make a pledge to yourself to sign up for an event for a future date.
The bottom line is to recognize that we all can help out our communities in a number of ways. Let today not just be a day off, but a day on.
What will you do today to pledge your service to your community? Let us know in the comments section!
