A host of luminaries commemorated Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with music, performances, and an urgent call to defend democracy at Monday’s annual tribute, held for the 37th year at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM).
The yearly event has grown in stature to become not just Brooklyn’s celebration, but in many ways the nation’s tribute to Dr. King, with elected officials, artists and influential thinkers joining to remember and take stock. Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso served as the master of ceremony.
