Dr. Martin Luther King

Since you will more than likely have the day off on Monday due to the MLK Holiday, you can enjoy a great evening of live music from the incredible Don Diego and The Razz Band.

Martin Luther King Jr. was the same age as I am right now when he was assassinated on this day 50 years ago. Americans of all races are spending today remembering his life and legacy and how his work changed America.

Fifty years ago, Washington D.C. was filled with hundreds of thousands of people who were marching for civil rights. On this day, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered a speech so profound and so powerful, it still considered to be one of the most important speeches in world history.
