Martin Luther King Jr. Day prompts reflection on service to others

Martin Luther King Jr. famously asked, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’” as a call to service and compassion.

Today, communities across the nation reflect on his legacy. The holiday serves as a reminder to remember his message and to actively serve others with purpose.

Many organizations and individuals participate in service projects and events to honor his memory and to promote community engagement, according to organizers.

The day encourages Americans to consider their roles in helping others and making a positive impact in their communities.
