Happy MLK Day!

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., an American Baptist minister and civil rights leader, played a transformative role in advancing justice and equality from 1954 until his passing in 1968. Since 1986, his birthday has been recognized as a federal holiday dedicated to community service, humanitarian efforts, and strengthening cooperation across communities. His legacy is also deeply connected to the U.S. Fair Housing Act of 1968, a landmark achievement in the pursuit of equal housing opportunities.

"Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'" - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

As we honor Dr. King's legacy, we encourage everyone to engage in acts of service. Whether today or in the days ahead, consider giving your time and talents to support your community.
