Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’” — Martin Luther King Jr. Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a day celebrated every third Monday of January in the United States. It aims to celebrate the Baptist minister who advocated for nonviolent actions during the civil rights movement and led more than a quarter million people in the March on Washington for jobs and freedom in 1963.We have chosen this quote from Martin Luther King Jr. because it encapsulates our Black in BC event: a night full of connection, learning and celebrating the Black community, including those doing good for others like the nominees in our Black Brillance Awards. The winners will be announced at the event on Friday, February 7, 2025, in #SurreyBC. Join us in supporting others in the community, learning about Black history and celebrating together.
