Throughout the day, you’ll see messages from scores of people that highlight some of the many famous words of the late civil rights leader, but one thing that was a point of emphasis on this 3rd Monday in January was a call to serve our community. Whether it was cleaning up a park or packing food for the homeless, millions of people turned out in their communities to give back.
