Celebrating Dr Martin Luther King, Jr Day

Martin-luther-king-jr-day-1024x1019

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. will be remembered at events throughout the Salt Lake Valley on Monday, Jan. 21 and during the rest of the week.

Many people think of MLK Day as not just a day off but a day of service, so consider doing some volunteer work in honor of the day. The MLKDay.gov website helps coordinate volunteers with projects in their local areas.
