A Message from the Chairman

"Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable...every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals."

Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., Stride Toward Freedom: The Montgomery Story

As Alabamians, we have the opportunity to live each day surrounded by the difficult history of our state, to be reminded of our turbulent past and be inspired to forge a better future for our children. Today, as we honor the birth of a true public servant and civil rights hero, I encourage you to celebrate his passion and good works by volunteering in your community.

Organizations across the state are hosting service opportunities to honor Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. today, and in his spirit, please join me in visiting Serve.gov to find a Day of Service event in your community.

In Service,

Judge Mark Kennedy
Chairman
