This day allows people across the United States to honor the legacy of Dr Martin Luther King Jr. through service. 

---

In 1994, Congress made the Martin Luther King Jr. federal holiday an official day of service. Athens, Georgia is one of the thousands of cities across the United States that decided to make this "A Day On and Not a Day Off." Join us to celebrate Dr. King's legacy at the 2019 Athens Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service on Monday, January 21.
