MEMPHIS, Tenn. — With inclement weather approaching the Memphis area on Martin Luther King Jr. Day this year, festivities to honor the civil rights icon are being moved around.
The National Civil Rights Museum has cancelled their "on-site portion" of their 2024 King Day celebration and instead is throwing a virtual event. By doing so, organizers hope to "warm the heart of and inspire" viewers with the free stream.
Musical performances by Memphis musicians Garry Goin, TykeT, Karen Brown, Adajyo and many more. Dr. Hasan Jeffries, Associate Professor at Ohio State University and editor of Understanding and Teaching the Civil Rights Movement, will give scholarly insight on Dr. King life and legacy.
A stream link to the celebrations is below:
