The nation will celebrate the legacy of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the national holiday held in his name on Monday, January 20th.
“During the less than 13 years of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s leadership of the modern American Civil Rights Movement, from December 1955 until April 4, 1968, African Americans achieved more genuine progress toward racial equality in America than the previous 350 years had produced. Dr. King is widely regarded as America’s pre-eminent advocate of nonviolence and one of the greatest nonviolent leaders in world history.”
We at UMT ask you to consider taking time to serve and commemorate this MLK Weekend in his honor:
