The TRUTH , IHRC, NCACC,  family and friends united to participate in the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service as a day on, not a day off.  Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. believed everyone could play a role in making this country a better place to live, and this initiative encourages everyone to turn his life and teachings into community action. The energy is electric. And the mood is definitely one of a celebration, as thousands of people lined Martin Luther King Blvd. for a parade to honor the life and legacy of the civil rights leader. Decades after his death, a new generation is learning his message.
