There is nothing better than a long weekend. You are sure to find plenty of fun Bellingham weekend events to fill your three days of freedom, but what better way to spend that time than by honoring Martin Luther King Jr? You could pitch in at a service project, learn something new, improve yourself or help uplift a neighbor. Here are a couple thoughts from the man himself to get you motivated.

“Somewhere we must come to see that human progress never rolls in on the wheels of inevitability. It comes through the tireless efforts and persistent work of dedicated individuals.” -Martin Luther King, Jr. at the Oberlin College Commencement.

“Without hard work, time itself becomes an ally of the primitive forces of social stagnation. So we must help time and realize that the time is always ripe to do right.” -Martin Luther King, Jr. in a letter from Birmingham City Jail.

“Sooner or later, all the peoples of the world will have to discover a way to live together in peace, and thereby transform this pending cosmic elegy into a creative psalm of brotherhood.” -Martin Luther King, Jr. in his Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech.

In that spirit, here are a few ideas of what you can do to follow in MLK’s impressive footsteps this weekend:
