Day of service embodies King’s vision

Published Jan 19, 2011

On the 25th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr. Day and days after what would have been Dr. King's 82nd birthday, students who chose to serve their community on a federal holiday instead of sleeping in are the ones who understood King's message best.

"Make it a day on, not a day off" was this year's MLK Day slogan, and the message fits this campus.

King envisioned an America where our generation judged one another by content of character, not color.

But something was missing at both events: I did not hear Riff Ram, the school's traditional cheer, at either event.
