Today is…
Humanitarian Day
Humanitarian Day is one of three Emancipation Days of Respect, along with Victims of Violence Wholly Day and Dream Day Quest and Jubilee. These three days honor Martin Luther King, Jr. and promote “unity, respect, and remembrance for those who have struggled and sacrificed to help change America’s unjust laws of racial segregation, as well as support and solidarity with victims of slavery and violence.” Not to be confused with World Humanitarian Day, Humanitarian Day takes place on Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday, around the same time that Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is celebrated. People wear white on the day, and it is a day to show respect for and to remember those who worked in the twentieth century to overturn laws in order to end segregation in the United States.
