Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. — Martin Luther King, Jr., March on Washington, August 28, 1963
On this day, when we commemorate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., we are republishing a blog post that we ran in August on the anniversary of Dr. King’s famous I Have a Dream Speech. Linked below are resources and information about Dr. King and his contributions to the Civil Rights Movement in the United States.
Dr. King once stated, “Life's most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?” Each year, Americans answer that question by working together on Martin Luther King Jr. Day to serve their neighbors and communities. We at the Harris County Law Library are committed to serving the residents of Harris County by meeting their legal information needs and by providing open and equal access to justice for all.
