Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?" Today, we honor Dr. King's dedication to equity, community, and service, and thank those who continue his legacy through service to others. #MLKDay

Chicago Debates had the distinct privilege of volunteering this Martin Luther King Jr. Day alongside our Americorps volunteers! Our debaters honor King's work by using their voices on behalf of their own communities, and we loved teaching others to do the same! #MLKDay
