The National Civil Rights Museum will present Remembering Dr. King: The Man. The Movement. The Moment from 5 to 7 PM today. Performances, tributes, a keynote speaker, and the changing of the balcony wreath with a moment of silence at 6:01. This hybrid event is scheduled for the museum’s courtyard and will be moved inside in case of rain.
All Memphis Public Libraries branches will be closed today for Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Day. I will say it once again: THAT IS NOT WHAT DR. KING WOULD HAVE WANTED.
