Episode 240 MLK: A Day On, Not a Day Off

Today marks the national holiday for Martin Luther King, Jr., a day to acknowledge and honor MLK's birthday and legacy. The mottos for MLK day are: "Remember, Celebrate and Act" and "A Day On, Not a Day Off". I care about living into those mottos. How am I not only remembering and celebrating MLK, but taking action that honors him? How do I not simply treat this day as a day off, but a day on, where l focus on King's wisdom, courage and inspiration? How do I integrate what King stood for, not just today, but throughout my life? So whether you are attending a MLK celebration, watching programs that honor him, listening to his powerful speeches, or reading and reflecting on his inspiring vision, let's make sure to make this a day to "Remember, Celebrate, Act" and "A Day On, Not a Day Off!" Let's do what we can throughout the year to honor Martin Luther King, Jr. and the truth, values, ethics and vision he stood for. May we contribute to freedom, justice, equality and peace for all beings. Enjoy the podcast! Links: www.democracynow.org
