Martin Luther King Day means different things to different people and while some consider it a ‘day-off’ many take the national holiday as a ‘day-on’ and pay homage to the late, great civic leader by spreading his message of peace through service.

That being said… while several ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta‘ cast members chose to pop bottles up in the club, Attorney Phaedra Parks and legendary actress Kim Fields chose to spend their time in Miami for a peaceful ‘do-over’ with Florida Representative Frederica Wilson.

Fields caught a bit of flack after last week’s episode where she chose to excuse herself from a meeting with the Representative, stating that the subject matter was ‘too adult’ for her 8 year old son.

Fields made up for the situation as she and her family joined Phaedra in visiting the congresswoman in her home state of Florida. The ladies also attended Rep. Wilson’s 5000 Role Models of Excellence Event alongside keynote speaker Omari Hardwick (Power).

Students meet weekly with their mentors ?from CEOs and college presidents to lawyers and firefighters ? attend symposiums, visit college campuses and engage in community service.

Over 95 percent of the program’s participants graduate from high school and move on to higher education.
