New Orleans' Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday Planning Commission is coordinating several events across the city in commemoration of Dr. King's birthday (Tuesday, January 15). Events include a day of service on Saturday (January 19) and a march on Monday (January 21).
Happy Johnson is a children's book author and co-founder of the Team Happy Foundation, dedicated to fostering the next generation of first responders and wetland scientists. He is also the Co-Chair of the MLK Jr. Planning Commission, and he stopped by WWNO to share some thoughts about the iconic spiritual and civil rights leader.
