Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

"I look to a day when people will not be judged by the

color of their skin, but by the content of their character."

~Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

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