executive orders in effect may restrict or require cancellation of events.
With
near term cancellations occurring at a rapid rate, and despite trying
to remove them as soon as we learn of the cancellations or restrictions,
we recommend viewers contact the event sponsors before heading out to a
listed event to confirm their status.
MLK Day also celebrates the life and contributions of Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr. and the history of the civil rights movement in the
United States
The other component of the MLK holiday is "The Day of Service" which fosters his legacy by transforming the federal holiday into a national day of community service grounded in his teachings of nonviolence and social justice.
The idea is to make the holiday a day where people of all ages and backgrounds come together to improve lives, bridge social barriers, and move our nation closer to the " Community” that Dr. Martin Luther King envisioned.
On MLK Day, many of the events throughout NJ are set up for volunteers as a day of service to the community.
Note: This information is provided by event sponsors as a free service to our viewers.
