King asks ‘What are you doing for others?’
A Facebook post shared a quotation attributed to Martin Luther King Jr.: “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, What are you doing for others?”
The line is commonly cited in discussions of civic duty and public service. Martin Luther King Jr. was a leader of the U.S. civil rights movement who advocated nonviolent protest and sought legal and social reforms to end racial segregation and discrimination.
The quotation emphasizes service to others and is often used by community groups, religious organizations and educators to encourage volunteerism and civic engagement. Such lines from King are frequently invoked to underscore ongoing debates about social responsibility and inequality.
Because the post contains only the short quotation and attribution, additional context about why it was shared or by whom was not provided. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
