Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day! Each January, we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s enduring legacy of service and advocacy. A central leader of the American Civil Rights Movement, Dr. King dedicated his life to advancing justice, equality, and unity.

Here are a few important moments from Dr. King’s life:

✅1944: Dr. King enrolled at Morehouse College at 15 years old. He earned his PhD in systematic theology in 1955 at Boston University.
✅1963: He organized the historic March on Washington, a peaceful demonstration of the injustices faced by Black Americans nationwide.
✅1964: Dr. King earned the Nobel Peace Prize for his powerful activism against racism and the movement for equality.

Today as we reflect on Dr. King’s legacy, we are reminded of the importance of serving others and treating all people with dignity and respect.

"Feels like being in a grand hotel."

"Wonderful activities for my mother ..."

“I was so worried mom would hibernate in her apartment, but The Stafford’s Social Wellness Program has created an atmosphere where she feels safe and that someone is looking out for her. Since moving here, she is so busy with all the wonderful activities she barely has time to fit me into her busy schedule. We are so happy she is here. She is, too.” … A happy family member
