January 19th - Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Everyone celebrates this day differently. When I was in school, we were to choose a phrase from any of his speeches and discuss what it meant to us and how we could relate to it. We would also light a candle in his honor and discuss many of his ideals on nonviolence. Celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day by doing honorable acts like spending extra time with your family or volunteering in your community.
