Today is Martin Luther King Jr. day. This year and for the last two years I have tried to make MLK day a “day on not a day off.” To honor the legacy of Martin Luther King everyone should try and do something good for the world today.
Today I spent my time teaching young people about the importance of service through art. As part of AmeriCorps Cape Cod’s annual MLK day event I was lucky enough to be able to help dozens of little kids learn about drawing.
It was a great time and the kids donated their art work to a bunch of great orginizations as well as created a traveling mural that will be on display thougout the county. It was really cool to see so many people come together to do something really interesting and nice for the community. I would hope that Martin Luther King Jr. would be proud.
