MLK Day 2020: The nation pauses to celebrate what would have been Rev. King's 91st birthday.



 



This year as we have for the last 3 years, we will pause and as the country did to observe Martin Luther King Jr. Day; on Monday, the civil rights icon's daughter challenged people to continue his fight to achieve what he called "a beloved community."



 



While King was just 39 years old when an assassin took his life in Memphis in 1968, his legacy of change through nonviolent protest is as relevant as ever, Dr. Bernice King said at a news conference announcing events to commemorate the holiday.



 



As she celebrates what would have been her father's 91st birthday this month, she said the world is in desperate need to follow his example, noting that the United States is in the throes of a gun-violence epidemic, has come to the brink of war with Iran and is enduring a crisis in Washington that has led to the impeachment of the president.
