Broadcasting live from the nation's largest Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service at Temple University, Michael Smerconish explores what's really driving America's political divide — and how we might begin to heal it. In a wide-ranging conversation on polarization, media, technology, loneliness, and the loss of common experience, Michael argues that the real problem isn't red vs. blue, but our failure to mingle. Joined by MLK Day of Service founder Todd Bernstein, Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker, and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, the discussion focuses on civic engagement, volunteerism, political violence, and restoring shared purpose in American life. A powerful reminder that service, connection, and showing up for one another may be the most effective antidotes to division. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

KUDOS brings people together under one belief system - to help your neighbor. Each year when the leaves begin to fall, groups from within Kalamazoo come together to help their neighbors winterize their homes. There may be different reasons between income troubles, to disability or old age preventing them from being able to tackle the job themselves. KUDOS doesn't need a "good reason" beyond the fact that you need a hand - they are happy to help.

In August of 1956, during the Montgomery bus boycott, Dr. King addressed a gathering celebrating the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity in Buffalo, NY. His speech came to be known as his “Birth of a New Age” address.

Their deep seeded passions are centered, as Dr. King said, in the broader concerns of humanity. Guests profiled today include: Matt Hanna, Executive Director of Next One Up Drs.

Opening of New Performing Arts Center Coincides With Commemoration of The Events of September 11th Every year, the week of September 11th is a week of commemoration. New York is filled with stories of this day — stories of loss, of bravery, of sacrifice, of reunion. But perhaps most visible, the physical World Trade Center, yes a place of reflection and commemoration, is also piece by piece becoming a place that has been rebuilt in the spirit of American persistence. The WTC, operated by the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, has announced the opening of its new performing arts center, as reported by AP. “The memorial is here for people to come and grieve and pay their respects. The museum is for people to learn, be aware and never forget,” says Khady Kamara, PAC NYC's executive director. “And the Performing Arts Center is here for people to celebrate life and really celebrate the resilience of New Yorkers and of the country.” The opening comes at a time when arts have struggled in the City, and could provide a meaningful jolt to the creative ingenuity that in many ways defines what makes New York great. Other efforts to turn tragedy into action and resilience are highlighted by the work of nonprofits like 9/11 Day, which encourages folks do good deeds each year. It has become the largest day of service in the United States.
