Groups around Lane County are gathering over the weekend and on Monday
to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Before his assassination, King
requested that his funeral not focus on offi cial awards or honors, but instead
note that he tried to help the needy and “love and serve humanity.” The civil
rights leader and anti-war activist would be celebrating his 82nd birthday on
Friday, Jan. 15. Eugeneans will celebrate him throughout the weekend and
Monday, Jan. 17 holiday. For ways to honor King or volunteer in his memory,
check out the gatherings and volunteer sections in the Calendar.
