Martin Luther King Jr. Day is more than remembrance — it’s a civic checkpoint. In this episode, we explores MLK Day through the lens of Civic Self, examining how democracy depends not only on laws and elections, but on our inner work, integrity, and capacity to sustain ourselves while engaging in justice.

Rather than freezing Martin Luther King Jr. in history, this episode asks what his legacy requires of us now — personally, locally, and consistently.

Reflection Questions:

• How am I practicing democracy in my daily life?
  
  
• Where do I need to rest in order to stay engaged?
  
  
• How do my personal choices reflect the justice I want to see?
