Show your support for one of the most important men in American history by heading down to one of the many MLK Day events going on this Monday. Here are a couple of the better ones, in case you need a place to start.

Harlem Gospel Choir - B.B. King Blues Club - Jan 19^th

They’re arguably the most famous gospel choir in the entire world and they’ll be putting on a performance to honor the memory of Martin Luther King, Jr. So grab up your special someone, head to the B.B. King Blues Club and enjoy a night of good food and even better music.

Brooklyn Tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. - BAM Howard Gilman Opera House - Jan 19^th

It’s become a Brooklyn tradition, this tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr., running 29 years now. Listen to lectures by renowned speaker Dr. Cornel West and see some musical performances by equally famous acts. Better yet, it’s an afternoon event so you can easily head out and celebrate in a different way once it’s finished.
