On Monday, our country will honor the life and life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  Martin Luther Day (MLK) is the only federal holiday designated as a national day of service to encourage all Americans to volunteer to improve their communities. Even in this age of COVID-19, we all can find ways to help our communities on MLK day as well as throughout the year.

Next, read about the childhood vaccine controversy, in Don’t Keep Believing – Childhood Vaccine Edition. Explore Don’t Keep Believing – COVID-19 Edition with articles on the latest vaccine myths.
