The Bulls will honor and celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. tonight when the team hosts the Houston Rockets at the United Center. New this year, the Bulls are proud to name the inaugural class of MLK Legacy Honorees, three Chicagoans who embody the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and demonstrate innovative strategies to address persistent challenges to achieving social justice and equity. Last week, Garrett Temple virtually surprised the honorees to deliver the news that they would receive this year s recognition, engage in a discussion on racial justice and thank them for the work they are doing in the community on behalf of the Bulls organization.
