Legislation signed in 1983 marked the birthday of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as a federal holiday. It is celebrated on the third Monday of each January. In 1994, Congress designated the Martin Luther King Jr. Federal Holiday as a national day of service, now led by AmeriCorps.
This year, the NYLS community is honoring Dr. King’s legacy with a powerful day of workshops and service, organized by NYLS’s Wilf Impact Center for Public Interest Law. The Monday January 20, 2025 program runs from 12:00 noon through 3:00 p.m., at the Park Slope United Methodist Church, 410 6th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215.
