Inequalities exist in many forms in today’s world. Whether it is poor vs. rich or teenagers vs. adults, prejudice stumbling blocks affect everyone. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke out on one of the biggest stumbling blocks of all: racial prejudice. His work and his determination saved many from losing their basic rights to people’s idea of a perfect hierarchy. Service is important on this day because it pays homage to those minorities that may not have a Martin Luther King Jr. to speak up for them. It’s a day to put aside all the prejudices and come together to volunteer as one.
