LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) â Perhaps no celebration of the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. has been more important than those that will take place around the country on Monday. We thought about canceling, but it was way, way, way too important, said Jay Alexander, a member of the city s MLK committee, which is organizing Monday s march in downtown Lexington.
Alexander, who also works at a local radio station in Lexington, said this year s march is essential because of the progress made within the Black Lives Matter movement. This year s march follows the deaths last year of Breonna Taylor in Louisville and George Floyd in Minneapolis, who were killed during altercations with law enforcement.
