A Legacy of Courage, Peace, and Justice

As we prepare to celebrate the life of the Civil Rights Leader and Nobel Prize Winner Martin Luther King Jr., Central Catholic is highlighting various ways to learn more about his legacy.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day offers us a chance to reflect on the achievements made by Dr. King but also to consider the ongoing efforts for social justice and civil rights.

Many people take time to rest and reflect, while others are more active in celebrating the day.

Below, you will find some links that offer the opportunity to learn more about his life and to participate in local activities celebrating Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
