A Day On, Not a Day Off

A week from today many businesses will be closed as people celebrate Martin Luther King Day.  Over the last few years many people have started to equate MLK Day as a day on instead of a day off.  The founders of this celebration looked at this Monday as a way where people can try to fulfill the goals MLK spoke about in many of his speeches.  

I took this short clip off the National Service Blog.  In 1960, Harris Wofford served as the coordinator for civil rights during President John F. Kennedy's campaign. He would go on to become a special assistant to President Kennedy on civil rights, a U.S. Senator, and CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service.

Watch until the end - there is a great story about the cyclical impact of giving back to your community!
