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.”
Today’s service will feature a keynote address by the Rev. Shavon Arline-Bradley.
It will be streamed online here.
Arline-Bradley is president and CEO of NCNW and the founding principal and CEO of R.E.A.C.H. Beyond Solutions. She served as senior advisor and director of external engagement during the Obama Administration in the Department of Health &Human Services for the 19th U.S. Surgeon General, Dr. Vice Admiral Vivek H. Murthy, according to NCNW.
