MLK DAY – The Martin Luther King Day holiday falls on Monday, January 19 this year. Peace groups are highlighting MLK’s oft-overlooked anti-imperialist, antiwar activism as a way to call attention to the need to end the current wars of U.S. aggression just before the inauguration (January 20). Since 1994, MLK Day has also been a Day of Community Service, with local volunteer opportunities around the country.
