Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., A Legacy of Service

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., saw himself as a servant of humanity, and he wanted his life to be remembered as a life of service to others. In this episode, we look at Dr. King’s legacy of service. We’ll explore how his use of nonviolence was not just a political tool, but a way to demonstrate service to others. Get ready to learn about some of the other activists who drew their inspiration from Dr. King. And we’ll even learn about ways that you can serve your community! Join us as we honor the memory of this great American by talking about service.
