Day of Reflection, Lifetime of Action
Martin Luther King Day 2005
“Make a career of humanity – and you will make a greater person of yourself, a greater nation of your country, and a finer word to live in.” – Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Each year, on the third Monday of January, 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. It is a time to remember his fight for the freedom, equality, and dignity of all people. And it is a time to remember his message of positive social change through community service.
To commemorate Dr. King?s legacy, Greater Philadelphia Cares will bring together a diverse collection of youth and adults in service to the community on January 17, 2005 for Day of Reflection, Lifetime of Action. Through a variety of workshops and service-learning projects, the program will emphasize finding personal significance not only when observing the holiday, but also when integrating the philosophies of Dr. King into a lifetime commitment to service and social activism.
For more information on getting your group, family, agency, or yourself involved, please contact Greater Philadelphia Cares today at 215-564-4544.
