Martin Luther King Jr. Day music special

In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we are presenting a special music program on Monday, Jan. 15 beginning at noon MT in honor of Dr. King’s life and legacy. 

The songs included range across genres and musical eras. Many live on as classics with a sound, and a message, that still resonates as strongly today as ever.
