Today, we honor Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his legacy of fighting for racial equality and justice through nonviolence. It's unique as the only federal holiday designated as a national day of service, encouraging Americans to volunteer and improve their communities to build the "Beloved Community" Dr. King envisioned. The day is marked by marches, speeches, and community service projects.
