In August of 1956, during the Montgomery bus boycott, Dr. King addressed a gathering celebrating the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity in Buffalo, NY. His speech came to be known as his “Birth of a New Age” address. In it, he said,
<i>“An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.”</i>
Today, on this Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service, Tom interviews people for whom every day is a day of service. Their deep seeded passions are centered, as Dr. King said, in the broader concerns of humanity.
Guests profiled today include:
- Matt Hanna, Executive Director of Next One Up
- Drs. Barbara Cook and Shakera Rahimi who assist Afghan refugee families
- Rev. Corey Barnes, Director of Operations for We Our Us
