Martin Luther King, Jr. day is officially observed on January 17th. Some folks see it as the most-awaited first holiday break of the year and some see it as a time to reflect and rejoice. I choose the latter.
Dr. King’s life is a movement and it didn’t end in 1968. I was a part of it in 2008, when President Obama became the 44th President of the United States. I can experience it 24-hours a day on a cable network called OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network) and I’m encouraged by it when I think of people like Bill Gates, Marian Edelman and Hydeia Broadbent.
My favorite quote by Dr. King is actually a question:
"Life's most urgent question is: What are you doing for others?"

My answer: Not enough. What's yours?
