As January rolls around each year, the world pauses to remember and honour the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. His birthday (January 15, 1929) is observed every year in the United States on the third Monday in January as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., National Day of Service. Dr. King’s powerful words, passion for civil rights, pursuit of justice, unwavering dedication to service continue to inspire generations today.
Service: A Legacy Continues
“Life's most persistent and urgent question is ‘What are you doing for others?’” - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. – Montgomery, Alabama (1957)
Service has a ripple effect of kindness, and compassion, and sets off a chain reaction of positive change. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. understood this and utilised it as the cornerstone of his advocacy. Across the globe, individuals and communities continue to heed Dr. King’s call, engaging in acts of service big and small. Examples of grassroots organisations advocating for marginalised communities or individuals volunteering their time to uplift those in need – the spirit of service remains alive and thriving.
In our current era of rapid technological advancements and societal complexities, the essence of service — the commitment to compassion, empathy, and serving the community for the greater good — remains a timeless principle. It is a reminder that amidst challenges, the act of serving others is transformative in bridging divides, fostering unity, and creating lasting change.
