Matt Dunne's LTTE

"...The approach to MLK day over the past 15 years provides a powerful way to strengthen our collective soul. In 1994, the family of Dr. Martin Luther King asked us to make it "a day on and not a day off" and to spend the holiday engaging in service to others. When I was the head of AmeriCorps*VISTA, I was inspired by the response across the country to 9/11, when people were inspired to strengthen our homeland through giving back to others. On Monday, we have the same opportunity to create a powerful "soul force" to respond to this tragedy and stand up against the language of violence by making a difference in our local communities. I hope you will join us in that cause."
