I woke up early this day to attend a Central Pennsylvania Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service.
When I was in University, I read one of his speeches which were noted for ‘I Have a Dream’. Martin Luther King Jr. had many speeches to ask the equality and coexistence between blacks and Whites. That is all I know about him, so I thought attending the service was a good chance to know about him.
On the Martin Luther King Jr. Day, there are the various events taking place in the region, and I attended one of the services which were held at Camp Curtin School. The Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service is an annual event that is sponsored by a consortium of schools, non-profit organizations and community service groups in Central Pennsylvania. I could see many presses and many different ages at that school. The most impressive thing was there were a lot of volunteers wearing a T-shirts printed about MLK Day. Even though they could spend time for resting at home or meeting with their friends, they helped the people who visited school for Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service. They seemed like they emulated MLK Jr’ spirit of self-sacrifice. Also, there was a performance about the Africa-American’s human right by high school students. It was short, but very impacted. I could get the meaning of Martin Luther King Jr. Day easily, and also I think it’s good for children to understand.
Actually, I didn’t know that Martin Luther King Jr. Day is national holiday. After attending the service and searching about the Martin Luther King Jr., I think Martin Luther King Jr. Day deserves to become a national holiday.
