Did It! 2008 King Day of Service Largest Ever
The 2008 King Day of Service saw a record number of
Americans honoring Dr. King by volunteering in their
communities. From building homes and delivering meals to
refurbishing schools and reading to children, more than
a half million Americans served in projects in all 50
states.
The President and First Lady Laura Bush served at the
MLK Library in Washington D.C., one of 5,000
projects taking place across the country. Participation
in the King Day of Service has grown each year since
1994, when Congress passed legislation encouraging the
holiday to be observed as a national day of service.

While King Holiday has passed, the work of realizing
King’s dream continues. Americans are encouraged to join
in “40 Days of Nonviolence: Building the Beloved
Community,” a national effort to follow King’s teachings
of nonviolence and serve in the 40 days following the
holiday. You can
sign the Pledge of Nonviolence,
find
ways to reduce violence and achieve justice in your
community, and
participate in an entire Semester of Service!
