Hi all,
Dr. King's work to advance the civil rights of all people in our nation continues to inspire our efforts to achieve equity in the workplace, and build an inclusive and empowering company culture.
Reflecting on his life's work also reminds us that discrimination and bias still exist.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’” Let's honor his legacy by committing to serve our communities and advocate for others. I'd like to highlight opportunities to make a difference through our organization.

How to celebrate MLK Day at the office
Each year, Americans commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a federal holiday that celebrates the life and legacy of the civil rights leader who was assassinated in 1968. King was born in 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia, and educated at Boston University, where he earned a doctorate degree in theology. He became involved in the civil rights movement in the early 1950s and rose to national prominence after delivering his famous “I Have a Dream” speech in 1963.
King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 for his work advocating for racial equality and peaceful resistance against discrimination. He was assassinated on April 4, 1968, shortly after winning a major victory for civil rights with the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1968.
King’s legacy is celebrated each year on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, which was first observed as a national holiday in 1986. The day is marked by events and activities that promote King’s teachings of racial harmony and social justice.
Ideas for honoring Martin Luther King Jr. Day include holding company-wide volunteer events, donate to charities that support MLK Jr.'s ideals, or create content that celebrates diversity and inclusion. Additionally, companies can encourage employees to take the day off to participate in community service or attend related events. Whatever companies decide to do, the most important thing is that they take the time to commemorate Dr. King's legacy and reflect on how they can continue his work in their own communities.
