I always enjoy listening to the Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have A Dream" speech, given on Aug. 23, 1963, when we celebrate his life each year.

The annual Oklahoma City parade honoring King's life will begin at 2 p.m. Monday, Jan. 16. It begins at NW 7th Street and Broadway Ave. and then proceeds down Broadway to Sheridan. Here's a listing of some events. There will be special tributes this year to local civil rights activist Clara Luper, who died last June. I wrote about Luper's life here.
