The nation will celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day on Monday, January 20, and Yellowhammer News has compiled a lengthy list of events occurring across Alabama to celebrate the life of the late reverend and civil rights icon.

King would have turned 91-years-old this past Wednesday. His legacy is honored annually on every third Monday in January.

Here is a list of 2020 MLK Day events in the Yellowhammer State:

Birmingham

King left an indelible mark on the Magic City, with history especially remembering King’s famed Letter from Birmingham Jail. It is only fitting that the city have a bevy of events scheduled to remember the legend.
