Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
This day observes the birthday of this civil rights
leader, minister, and winner of the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize,
who was assassinated April 4, 1968. The people of America are
called to remember the injustices that Dr. King fought and to
continue to right wrongs so that people of all races may enjoy
freedom, equality, and dignity. It is also a time to remember
the message of change through nonviolence. This year’s
theme is: “Remember! Celebrate! Act! A Day On, Not A Day
Off!” For details of Abington Township’s 22nd Annual
Memorial Service, see “Special Events.” |
