Honoring the life and legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. will bring together University of Virginia and local community members in the coming weeks.

The Martin Luther King community choir has started rehearsing for this year's MLK celebration day. The choir held its first practice at Mount Zion first African Baptist Church in Charlottesville.

As part of the 2015 Community MLK Celebration, the University Library sponsored a program during which members of the U.Va. community spoke out about why 'Black Lives Matter.'

Hundreds of people from the University of Virginia and surrounding communities gathered at more than 30 events over several weeks in January and early February 2013 to discuss and celebrate the legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
