Around the United States and throughout the world, Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday is celebrated with marches and countless playbacks of his brilliant "I Have a Dream" speech. King’s words, are as valid today as they were over 30 years ago, and continue to inspire people. President Ronald Reagan signed legislation designating the "Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr.," or MLK Day a federal holiday. King's birthday is on January 15 and this holiday was designated to celebrate and honor his legacy. For some, this holiday is simply a day off from work. However, some have chosen to use this day as a day of community service to the community in which they live. The United States has come a long way since the days before the beginning of the civil rights movement. Despite this, there is always room for improvement and the need to make life better for all Americans. I do not know how you plan to spend MLK Day, but I hope it will be meaningful.
