King Holiday

Remembering Dr. Martin Luther Kings on his 88th birthday.

Today is the day that we all should celebrate and let me tell you what this day means to me.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is an American civil rights icon, who fought for the freedom, justice and equal rights of ALL people against hatred and bigotry.

The national holiday celebrating the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is fastly approaching. In tribute, I would like to share a poem by retired educator Dr. Nancy B. Shepard.

Dr. Martin Luther King didn't just talk the talk, he walk the walk and even died for what he believed in.  His dream called for racial equality, social justice, an integrated and unified America and economic opportunity for ALL.  He was a man of great integrity and the youngest to ever receive the Nobel Peace Prize.

As we celebrate the life of a great man, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we reflect on his life and memory on Monday, Jan. 16 as this day is affectionately known as King's Day! Well, we want to give you even more of a reason to celebrate, and it all kicks off on tomorrow!

Make sure to tune in this Monday morning beginning at 9 a.m. as 107 Jamz and USAgencies presents "King: A Musical Tribute" to the man and his legacy on 107 JAMZ and 107jamz.com

January 15th would have been the 82nd birthday of  Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, and around the world today is the day that we celebrate. This is not only a holiday where students are out of school or some may be of of work. This is a very important day for the kids to understand what this man stood for in our life.
