This Monday, January 15, is Martin Luther King Jr. Day . Austin's 2001 MLK Community Celebration is an annual big-time deal. The event is the following night and is sold out. The real big deal on MLK Day proper, however, is free for everyone. Cap Met will run free shuttles between the three locations, 7am-1pm.
Some color lines are different nowadays.
Some are exactly the same. But whether the venue is faith, whom one loves, skin color, or heritage, the permanent damage to way too many hearts is still wreaking havoc and destroying lives. There's still a lot of reason to celebrate a man who could heal those divisions and whose life was taken for his trouble. Austin Chronicle Corp. All rights reserved.
