On January, 18, 2010, people of all
ages and backgrounds will come together
to improve lives, bridge social
barriers, and to move our nation closer
to the “Beloved Community” that Dr. King
envisioned. Dr. Martin Luther King
devoted his life’s work to causes of
equality and social justice. He taught
that through nonviolence and service to
one another, problems such as hunger and
homelessness, prejudice and
discrimination can be overcome. Dr.
King’s teachings can continue to guide
us in addressing our nation’s most
pressing needs---poverty, economic
insecurity, job loss and education.
Volunteer with Americans across the
nation on the 2010 King Day of Service
and make a real in difference in your
community.
