Celebrate the Spirit of Martin Luther King Jr.: A Lawyer's Day of Service

Past President W. Anthony Jenkins

State Bar of Michigan

January 21 marks another occasion for each of us to remember, appreciate, and honor the great legacy of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., whose personal commitment to civil rights and equal justice for all remains a shining example of a life dedicated to uplifting the human spirit and improving the living conditions of all mankind. I ask that you engage in a pro bono or community service project of your choice in recognition of Dr. King's legacy and as a demonstration of your personal commitment to the goals he embraced.

 

 

"Life’s most persistent and urgent question is,
what are you doing for others?"
—Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
1957 Sermon
