MLK Day has been designated as a national day of service (Credit: Points of light.org)

Celebrated annually on the third Monday of January, Martin Luther King Jr. Day honors the life and legacy of one of the most influential leaders of the American civil rights movement. Designated a national day of service by the US Congress, the federal holiday encourages citizens to help realize the Baptist minister's vision of a “beloved community” by bridging racial and ethnic barriers, addressing social issues, and volunteering to improve their communities.

      In these times when we continue to fight for civil rights and everytime a new police kills a innocent person it makes me cry.It makes my emotions flare up.And now i realize we have to appreciate life as how it is.Don´t ask for any more.All i need is people.Equality.And Peace.And how Dr.Martin Luther King brang us together.His booming voice.Strong at powerful.And how we have forgotten what we have been made for.To live this life.As you want it.Live it open live it free.But sometimes we forget we have all we need.I have a dream that all of us can just be friends and not by the color of their skin but who they are on the inside.I have a dream someday we can end this dawn of judging.I have a dream that one day I can wake up and know it will be a good day.And that I can have the power to make friends just by having a normal conversation.And that we will stay strong through anytime.And no matter what anybody says.You are the greatest version of YOU.It is up to you to change the world.

                    This info is very helpful. When I was younger, I didn't understand the gravity of this situation. Now that I'm older (6th grade), I understand a lot more, it's quite life changing.
