Next Monday, January 19, is Martin Luther King,

Jr. Day, a day when we honor his legacy. 

Dr. King came into the public consciousness as

the leader of the Montgomery Bus Boycott, which began on December 1955—just over 70 years ago. That event launched him into a history shaping life and ministry that continues to be relevant today.

As we prepare to celebrate his life next Monday,

we invite you to follow the link below to read an excerpt of his writing on the power of love and nonviolence.
