For many, Martin Luther King Jr. Day is “a day on, not a day off.”

There are numerous events and volunteer opportunities today throughout metro Atlanta.

Events include a 10 a.m. service at Ebenezer Baptist Church with a call to commemoration by the Rev. Bernice King, who shared a message to her late father on social media.

“Daddy, Thank you for lifting the power of love,” it began. “Thank you for believing that we can defeat injustice without destroying each other.”

Daddy,

Thank you for lifting the power of love.

Thank you for believing that we can defeat injustice without destroying each other.

Thank you for your courage and compassionate action.

I remember you today, on your 95th birthday.
