This weekend commemorates the annual tribute to the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This time of year is always an opportunity to bring contemporary thinking with traditional values to the forefront. Our leaders can celebrate a legacy and act now to mobilize a movement.
Here are some ways to celebrate the vision of Dr. King.
1. Train and sharpen leadership skills.
2. Bring urgency, willingness, and passion back to civic engagement.
3. Build alliances and create teams committed to human and civil rights.
4. Transform social and economic challenges into opportunities for hope.
5. Tackle tough social issues head on.
Dr. King had the dream. Now it is our turn to act on this Martin Luther King Day 2012. No, we cannot wait!
