a day on

14 years ago the US Congress established the King Holiday and Service Act encouraging “A day on, not a day off” in celebrating Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.

(how is it that it took me 14 years to learn of it?)

What a great way to support the truth that every day should be a day of service… even holidays.

“So somehow the "isness" of our present nature is out of harmony with the eternal "oughtness" that forever confronts us. And this simply means this: That within the best of us, there is some evil, and within the worst of us, there is some good. When we come to see this, we take a different attitude toward individuals.”

Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929 – 1968)
American civil rights leader
Nobel Peace Prize recipient
