Monday message 01.19.2026
Martin Luther King Jr. Day, coming up on January 19, 2026, is a federal holiday observed on the third Monday of January each year. During his famous “I Have a Dream” speech, delivered during the 1963 March on Washington, Dr. King called for equality and justice for all people regardless of race. The holiday serves as a reminder of his commitment to civil rights and social justice, encouraging individuals to reflect on his teachings and engage in community service.
Please see below for resources to use at home to honor the holiday.
