From being a preacher in an Atlanta Baptist church to one of the most quoted Civil Rights leaders, Martin Luther King Jr.’s journey was heavily covered by The Tennessean.

From a visit to the National Civil Rights Museum to MLK Days of Service, here are some ways to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. in Memphis.

Martin Luther King Jr is remembered for his tireless work during the Civil Rights Movement and his dream that one day everyone would be treated as equals. A statue built in his memory now stands in Washington D.C. and each year, the third Monday in January is celebrated as Martin Luther King Jr. Day, an American federal holiday.
