The Kentucky Historical Society will have a celebration to honor Martin Luther King Jr. later this month.<\/p>\n
King, who was born on Jan. 15, 1929, was a renowned civil rights leader during the 20th century.<\/p>\n
Kentucky students, community leaders, government officials and citizens are invited to the celebration, which will be at the Thomas D. Clark Center for Kentucky History on Wednesday, Jan. 15 from 6 to 8 p.m. The Kentucky Historical Society has held similar events in the past.<\/p>\n
The theme of this years event, according to a Facebook post from the historical society, is about asking all to to consider the Golden Rule as a moral underpinning to Kings civil rights and justice work. How was that principle deployed then, in Kings mission, and where should we and our society deploy this viewpoint now?<\/p>\n
Admission is free, but seating is limited. Earlier in the day, the Kentucky History Center and Museums will have hands-on activities, a community art project, special performances and a volunteer fair from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Contact 502-564-1792 or khseducation@ky.gov<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Original post:<\/p>\n KHS to honor Martin Luther King Jr. this month - State-Journal.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Kentucky Historical Society will have a celebration to honor Martin Luther King Jr. later this month.
