"MLK Day Events Disrupted by Winter Weather Across the US"

On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, AmeriCorps volunteers gathered at Herzl Elementary School in Chicago for a beautification project, but the event was postponed due to inclement weather. While many participate in service activities on MLK Day, some critics argue that a single day of service does not fully honor King's legacy and call for ongoing efforts to address societal issues such as racism, poverty, and war. They emphasize the importance of understanding and embodying King's radical ideals and working towards systemic change throughout the year.
