Ways you can honor Martin Luther King Jr. 50 years after his assassination
Artist Al Hornsby marches with his painting of Martin Luther King Jr. in 2015. There are many ways to honor King's memory.
This
year marks the 50th anniversary of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s
assassination.
In recognition, The King Center in Atlanta has a list of events and service projects you can get involved with.
"You
can have a person in your own house that needs help. Your neighbor
needs help. That is the whole premise," said Carmen Coya van-Duijn with
the King Center.
Below are other ways you can honor his legacy today - and all year long.
