Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

It was Martin Luther King, Jr. day. As the morning rolled around, my alarm went faulty. As a woman who is known for being inappropriately early for everything in life – flights, dentist appointments, dinner at Mom’s, etc. – imagine my frazzled state when I realized I slept in. It was just the start to a bad day, and I was in a foul mood. But we had a mentoring and volunteering project planned so I grudgingly loaded my car with supplies for the day’s service project and was on my way.

Remembering Dr. Martin Luther King

Last Monday  we observed the holiday honoring the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The day is celebrated in many ways, from parades to volunteering to helping others, every year many make this day a day to work to celebrate the legacy of Dr. King, and not simply taking a day off work. Here at FedEx we made the day a Day of Service by partnering with the Hands on Network to give back to communities in Chicago, Dallas, Memphis, Newark and Washington, DC.
