1. Whole Week of Celebration for MLK, Jr. 1/9-1/18/10

In honor of what would be Martin Luther King’s 81st birthday, and the 25th anniversaryPicture 11 of the national holiday created to celebrate his work and life, a wonderful, week-long roster of events is being presented by The King Center.

The Center, founded in 1968 by the fallen leader’s wife, Coretta Scott King, is a premier site for people to learn, share and celebrate the principles Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his energies to.

From the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra’s concert, “A King Celebration” at the King Chapel of Morehouse College to the Salute to Greatness Awards banquet and a Health and Wellness Forum, the week is jam-packed with exhibits, seminars, concerts, and children’s activities for all.
