Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Today, we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., whose courage, vision, and unwavering commitment to justice helped shape our nation. Dr. King reminded us that progress begins with compassion, service, and the belief that every person deserves dignity and equality.
As we observe this holiday, we reflect on his powerful words and enduring message of unity, peace, and hope. City offices will be closed today in observance of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.
