SAN ANTONIO – The 2021 Martin Luther King, Jr. March will look vastly different this year.
Instead of thousands of people marching in the streets for justice, peace, hope and understanding on Monday, the coronavirus pandemic will force marchers, demonstrators, activists and students to celebrate the life of Dr. King online.
It’s an unprecedented virtual event during an unprecedented age, a time when Americans have faced a global health crisis amid a reckoning of racial injustice.
The remembrance will also take place nearly two weeks after a makeshift noose was erected outside the U.S. Capitol during the deadly siege, in which a man carrying a Confederate flag walked the halls of Congress.
