Hi Everyone!
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy is alive and well - we still gather to march and protest for social justice and equality! Dr. King was a champion for all people. He stressed the importance of rising above fear and that with courage and determination, change was possible. This week we'll celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday and the contributions he made to advancing the Civil Rights Movement.
How will you celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day meaningfully? Share your ideas with me at jplyouthservices@coj.net, subject line: Teen Think Tank.
Stay safe and have a great week!
