What Martin Luther King Jr. Day Means To Americans

It is great to share inspirational quotes about Martin Luther King Jr. Day. However, a better way of celebrating the day is to make a move embodying what Martin Luther King Jr. stood for. The birthday of Martin Luther King Jr. is a US holiday to commemorate the man and his social activism as well as implement his ideas for Los Angeles communities, LA city and the nation. L.A. Works encouraged Los Angeles natives to take part in volunteer opportunities on Martin Luther King Jr. Day and beyond.

The epidemic and the recent spikes in the number of COVID-19 cases make it more difficult than before to get out and about. However, it is possible for people to take part in the movement remotely through the Share Your Experience with Students event and the so-called Minecraft March on Washington on the website of L.A. Works.

The academic accomplishment gap and education equity are among the issues that L.A. Works focuses on considerably these days. Go to the educational equity section on the L.A. Works site to know more about it. The organization also asks people who are keen on doing some charity to visit its calendar and commit themselves to upcoming projects. Those projects include card-making in support of LAUSD teachers as well as opportunities to aid in tutoring LA students through their Reading Partners Los Angeles groups and Step Up groups. Visit the section related to MLK Day on the website of L.A. Works for more information.
