Thanking MLK For More Than Just A Lazy Monday

January 21, 2008 - 5:07 pm By Jess - NYU

Here at CollegeCandy, we love our three-day weekends like Britney loves swearing at swarming paparazzi, but too often forget why certain Mondays allow us to sleep in with those Jake Gyllenhaal dreams of ours (you know the one…where he’s feeding us ice cream by a pool? In a speedo? Yeah).

In honor of one of the most courageous men in our history books, we’d like to share his powerful words of yesterday in hopes that they still strike a chord today. We’ve come a long way in the 40 or so years since Martin Luther King walked this earth, but tolerance will always be in style.

The CC Weekly Weigh In: Let’s Say Thanks

Like most families, mine gathers around the dinner table on Thanksgiving and (after making fun of each other for a few minutes) shares what they are most thankful for that year. Growing up, I hated this tradition; it was so cheesy and lame. But now that I’m an adult, going around the table at Thanksgiving allows me to tell my family how much I love them…
