A day of service in honor of Dr. King.

And gettin the word out on an important PBS documentary:

So, it's to rejoice his memory?

I'll second that then.

ALthough saying HAPPY makes it a bit Xmassy, doesn't it?

Or is that just me?

It's just you. I think Merry when I think Christmas.

Happy is more for birthdays, anniversaries and actually most other major holidays (New Year's, 4th of July, Easter, Halloween). So it seemed like the appropriate adjective.

TRON said:

Okay, just checking.

Very happy MLK day to all!

Thought it had to do with U2 at first, btw way.

just thought id mention it...i sang in a school choir for Mlk's widow in '93 on MLK day(i think it was '93) while i was a student at WIS in D.C. From what i can remember, it went down pretty well.

Happy MLK day

Martin Luther King Jr.,day sends a very important message. It might have different meanings to different people but if you support equality for every human being, you should stop and give thanks to this man. Black, female, jewish, gay, etc. If you stand for HUMAN rights and EQUAL rights for all, then you are on the right track. To me its not about a holiday, or a day off, or a day of work, or black history, its about a man who started a movement about equality, step up and support equal rights for everyone, make his dream a reality.

yeah... i don't think mlk day would work with well with a lot of the christmas sayings and songs...

if you were to say that you were dreaming of a white martin luther king day it might not sound right...

Reflecting on how fortunate we are to have become friends with each other here at the org.

The diversity we share can be found at very few places...

Happy birthday to ya, happy birthday to ya, happy biirrrth-day! Okay, so it's 5 days late, but we recognize today!

Tha's all well and good, Sal, but can we get some pictures of brothas up on the wall.

Oh wait, this site is named after a brotha! Oh, but he's mixed (haha!) black and italian

I'm at work today

But I sure do have a lot of respect for Dr. King...there haven't been many leaders like him!

u ain't right...

Happy Birthday&Much Props too Stevie Wonder for help getting it Passed.Coretta Scott King is a Strong Black Woman&keeps the Legacy&Hope for One Nation Under God a Daily Reminder every day.

I'm working today. And when I called someone for business reasons the person answered all flustered and confused. Thinking I may have called her home number, I apologized and she says "I'm not working today, I'm in the middle of celebrating the holiday".

Ok, I get the fact that today is a holiday, but how does one "celebrate" MLK day?

Damn, Dickie

Remember him, Martin Luther King
When we stuggle and have war in our heads
That we too, can hold the message
Of equality.
There really is a way
To transcend the pain
And live out a day
Of our own uniqueness
A similarity dream parrallel.
So the dream is no longer that
And life takes on new meaning
And love grows and throbs
In each breath that melts in, out
And our greatness is matched in
The same equality he preached.
