"I Approve this Day of Celebration! because it honors me and pleases our GOD!"

"Welcome to the
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day On the Net"

A Celebration of the Man and the Holiday

" I have a dream... I have a dream that one day little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers I have a dream today"

Each year on the third Monday of January schools, federal offices, post office and banks across America close as we celebrate the birth, the life and the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

It is a time for the nation to remember the injustices that Dr. King fought. A time to remember his fight for the freedom, equality, and dignity of all races and peoples. A time to remember the message of change through nonviolence

We've got stories of Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks and the Civil Rights Movement. So bring your kids and tell your friends. And please stop by again.

Remember! Celebrate! Act!
A Day On, Not A Day Off!!
