More Flavor: City Gem Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Nobel Peace Prize winner and iconic Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. is remembered across the country today for his tireless efforts to enact broad, all-encompassing social change in the South while simultaneously bringing racial awareness to cities like Chicago. The Chicago History Museum honors the Georgia native's brave accomplishments with a slate of programs today. Among the highlights, the Chicago Chamber Choir sings the pastor's praises, and thespians LaRoyce Hawkins and Cameron Drake present a fictional powwow between Malcolm X and MLK.
