DENVER - The largest Martin Luther King Jr. march and rally in the U.S. is today
in Denver. The “Marade” kicks off at the Martin Luther King memorial in
City Park at 9 a.m. Thousands will march along Colfax Avenue to Civic
Center Park. This is the 28th year for the Marade. King's birthday was declared a state holiday in 1984.
This Martin Luther King Day also marks the 50th anniversary of his march on
Washington. It’s also the same day President Barack Obama will be
publicly sworn in. He’s participating in community service events this
weekend and is encouraging everyone to volunteer during this time.
