“Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of
creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness”

  

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

  

  

“An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity”—Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

  

This month of April marks the 42nd anniversary of the death of Dr. King and we are commemorating his life and work by creating a memorial in our nation’s capital. The Washington, DC, Martin Luther King, Jr., National Memorial will honor his life and contributions to the world through non violent social change.

  

The Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial will be the first on the National Mall to recognize a person of color and a man of peace, not a president or a veteran of war. In 1996 Congress authorized the Memorial Foundation to raise funds to establish a national memorial to honor the legacy of Dr. King on the National Mall. The memorial’s very existence signifies that we as a people believe Dr. King and his legacy deserve this esteemed placement in what can be considered America’s “Hall of Fame.”

  

I won’t steal the thunder by writing anymore. To read the complete story click this link to go to the MLK Memorial News site. The information was captured from this site and Lowell Dempsey, contacted me to ask all black bikers and black motorcycle clubs to join in and be a part of the dream.

I thought this would be something we as African American bikers need to see to maybe excite us to come together again and fight for our rights as a people. We have lost that fire and I am keeping hope alive that we get it back.

Okay family we have a week before we celebrate the Martin Luther King’s Day of Service.
I captured the information from World of Soul Motorcycle Community. What I captured your can read below:

In 1994, Congress designated the Martin Luther King Jr. Federal Holiday as a national day of service and charged the Corporation for National and Community Service with leading this effort. Taking place each year on the third Monday in January, the King Day of Service is the only federal holiday observed as a national day of service – a “day on, not a day off.” The King Day of Service empowers individuals, strengthens communities, bridges barriers, addresses social problems, and moves us closer to Dr. King’s vision of a “Beloved Community.”

Are you or your organization involved in a community service project on this day?
