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!
