Protestors Rally Nationwide to Reclaim MLK's Legacy
In cities across the nation, protestors took the streets with a call to reclaim Martin Luther King Jr's legacy this holiday weekend. The actions were part of a coordinated effort, dubbed #ReclaimMLK on social media, that sought to build off of them momentum of last year's rallies against police brutality.
