I have a dream… NYC, honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with a day of service. Check out one of the events around the city in his memory.

1 The Marade: The Largest MLK Celebration in U.S. 1/18/10

Other cities have Martin Luther King parades, but in Denver, they have a marade. One part march, one part parade, the annual MLK Marade is one of the largest celebrations of the civil rights leader- even beating out Washington D.C.!
One of the coolest aspects about this celebration is that everyone can join. Participants just have to meet at memorial at City Park at 9am, the marade begins at 10, and after reaching the Civic Center Park everyone is served cake.
The Marade is both in the spirit of MLK’s nonviolent change and of sweet celebration.
