Each year on the third Monday of January we observe Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and reflect on the legacy of a man who brought hope and healing to America. His words were inspiring and he lived a life fighting for freedom and justice. It is more important than ever that we rediscover the tools activists like King leveraged to advance a more expansive and inclusive society. On MLK Day 2021, we reflect how far we’ve come and how far we still have to go. Many people use this d...ay to give back to their communities. People volunteer to help feed the homeless, they mentor children that come from a life of struggle, and essentially help to make the community a better place no matter how they decide to help out. At Jabian, we honor King’s legacy through our annual Day of Service today. Each of our employees will participate in a virtual community service project. Let us know how you will be celebrating today! #MLKDay See more
