Martin Luther King and National Day of Service

Crisis does two things.

1. It brings people together.
2. It causes action.

Positive or negative, well, that's up to you. Martin Luther King saw opportunity through crisis. He worked through his crisis every day not just one. On Monday, January 19, we look back and honor Martin Luther King through a National Day of Service. See more here.

National Day of Service is an opportunity to help those around you. Volunteer. Hold the door open. Take someone to lunch. Call a friend. Educate a student. Blog some good. Simple, but it adds up. We may be in a crisis now, but your response makes all the difference.

You see, the only thing that separates you and me is an excuse. I can borrow yours, but won’t. Mine aren't that good either. Here's a list to help you get started. My group is listed at #3, GILAS - Gearing Up Internet Literacy and Access for Students, so if you're interested let's chat.
