WICHITA FALLS, Texas (TNN) - The Midwestern State University community celebrates Martin Luther King Jr. Day with the day of service event.
“I’m from San Antonio and so I’m used to every year doing the MLK march down there and helping get it started with family members and running it. It’s just wanting to do a little bit of something since I can’t really do that this year,” said Shunde Hooks, a sophomore at MSU Texas.

Graceland, Beale Street and barbecue. They form the holy trinity of any trip to Memphis. But amidst all the music, neon-lit nightlife, and a food scene rife with both unforgettable classics and exciting new restaurants, there is another must-see sight here.
The National Civil Rights Museum, situated downtown just a few blocks from the banks of the Mississippi, is more than just a collection of exhibits that harken back to another time. It is situated in what was formerly the Lorraine Motel, the place where Dr Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated on 4 April 1968, on the balcony outside of his room.
OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and despite the pandemic, Oakland continued its longest-running celebration of the civil rights leader s life.
The 29th annual Keeping the Dream Alive multicultural rally was held virtually. Representative Barbara Lee, Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf and Former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown were among the speakers.
This year, the pandemic has forced the cancellation of many in-person events in the Bay Area like the annual MLK Celebration Train from San Jose to San Francisco and March to Yerba Buena Gardens.
Instead, the Norcal MLK Foundation is pivoting to a virtual celebration with a Health and Wellness and Music Festival. The events will reflect on a year following the police killings of George Floyd, Brianna Taylor, and Black Lives Matter protests.

CINCINNATI â The MLK Coalitionâs march included masks and social distancing this year.
The annual march took place in Cincinnati on Monday morning, and organizers had COVID-19 protocols in place to ensure the safety of participants.
Organizers also prepared Metro buses dedicated as the Rosa Parks bus for those who were not able to walk in the march. Participants could also register their own vehicle to drive in the motorcade.
The theme for this yearâs march was inspired by one of Martin Luther King Jr.âs famous quotes, âWe will never be satisfied until justice rolls down like water.â
