Martin Luther King

Today I had the privilege of speaking to over a 1,000 college students and local residents about Martin Luther King Day and service. I spoke about my platform H.E.R.O - Helping Everyone Reach Out and how we can all become heroes through service to others and volunteering in our community.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is one of my heroes and one of our countries great leaders and heroes. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "Life's most persistent and urgent question is: "What are you doing for others?" I am so grateful that we have the opportunity to answer his question by volunteering on MLK Day of Service. The MLK Day of Service is a part of United We Serve, the President's national call to serve initiative. It calls for Americans from all walks of life to work together to provide solutions to our most pressing national problems.
