Groups across the country on Monday are gathering to honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
The Martin Luther King Jr. holiday is observed each year on the third Monday in January. King, who would have turned 91 on Jan. 15, is remembered for his important contributions to the civil rights movement to end racial segregation and discrimination in America.
The civil rights leader helped organized rallies and boycotts, including the successful Montgomery bus boycott, and advocated for peaceful protests. King delivered his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech in 1963 from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C.
He was assassinated on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee.
Here are various events being held Monday across the United States in honor of the late civil rights hero.
In his memory, Martin Luther King Jr. Day is also the only federal holiday designated as a national day of service, in which Americans are encouraged to volunteer to improve their communities.
The annual event is an opportunity for Americans to answer the call posed by King, "Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’"
There are many MLK Day service project opportunities happening across the country that you can search for on the Corporation for National and Community Service website, the federal agency which leads the MLK Day of Service.
In Atlanta, multiple events are planned throughout the city as part of holiday celebrations, including a march with a replica of a Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority bus from 1955 and tours of King's birth home.
In New York, the Brooklyn Academy of Music will honor the King’s legacy on Monday with its 34th annual tribute to the civil rights leader. The celebration is New York City’s largest public tribute to King’s life, according to the Brooklyn Daily Eagle.
In San Antonio, the 33rd annual MLK March will take place, considered to be one of the largest in the nation, followed by a commemorative program featuring Mayor Ron Nirenberg and other national, state and county officials.
“Every year, the people of San Antonio come together and celebrate the largest MLK March in the world. We march not only in an act of solidarity to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy, but to advance his vision of love, peace and justice for all,” Nirenberg said of the event.
In Tampa, multiple parades are planned including the 31st annual Tampa MLK Day Parade featuring bands, floats and drumlines.
In Washington, D.C., the annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday Parade will take place starting at 11 a.m. local time. The District of Columbia was one of the first jurisdictions in the nation to hold a parade in honor of King after his death, and it helped in the effort to establish a national holiday in his honor.

On this episode of People's Party, Talib Kweli and Jasmin Leigh sit down with actress and writer Yvette Nicole Brown. They discuss her early dream of becoming a singer, which evolved into an acting career. Later, she talks about writing the movie "Always A Bridesmaid," and valuable lessons she learned from Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino on the set of the hit show "Community." Later, the trio discusses the idea of fame being a vapor and a trap that compromises the integrity of so many in the industry.
As the convo moves along, Yvette speaks on being a self-proclaimed "Blerd" and regular attendee of the Comic-Con conventions. The trio then goes on to discuss Trump-era politics, the importance of voting, ADOS, the lack of attention on immigration reform by progressives, and in closing Yvette gives some great advice to those seeking a career in Hollywood.

15:15 -- Talib explains that Donald Glover wrote Atlanta because he wanted to watch something “black”.

Diddy and Faith Evans played central roles in Notorious B.I.G.'s life and in the immediate success that followed ... so it's only fitting they'll be front and center when Biggie gets inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Sources close to Diddy tell TMZ ... the music mogul and his family will attend the ceremony -- broadcast live on HBO -- on May 2 in Cleveland. We're told Diddy may have something up his sleeve to honor Biggie ... though it's unclear if he'll perform or pay tribute onstage.
Faith tells TMZ ... she's ecstatic about her late-husband being honored as a first-ballot inductee. And, like Diddy, Faith tells us her plan is to attend the ceremony. She's also hopeful she'll be part of the night's festivities honoring Biggie.
The duo, of course, go way back with Biggie. Diddy and Biggie met in the early 90s and he signed Biggie to Bad Boys Records in 1993. Faith was also signed to Bad Boys when she met Biggie at a photo shoot in 1994 and got married just days later.
When Biggie was tragically gunned down in 1997 in L.A., Diddy and Faith collaborated with 112 and released a tribute song, "I'll Be Missing You."
When the Rock Hall announced its honorees, Diddy couldn't hold back on his excitement ... filming himself on the street going berserk.
Biggie's among 4 inductees getting called to the Hall as first-time ballots -- Whitney Houston, The Doobie Brothers and T-Rex are the others. Depeche Mode and Nine Inch Nails round out the 2020 Hall of Fame class.
Congrats!!!

Vic Mensa's learning a tough lesson about Cali life -- a little weed is legal, but a little piece of metal could land you in prison ... at least if you're talking brass knuckles. And, we are.
The rapper/punk rocker was riding a motorcycle in Glendale, CA earlier this month when police saw him make an unsafe turn ... according to law enforcement sources.
An officer pulled over Vic, and at some point during the stop, patted him down. We're told the officer found the brass knuckles in Vic's pants pocket.
Here's the thing -- while the "fist-load weapon" is considered legal in most states for self-defense purposes ... they're banned in California. Bad news for Vic.
Cops booked him for felony possession of brass knuckles, and he was later released after posting $20,000 bond.
He did catch a small break in that cops decided not to ticket him for the alleged unsafe turn.

A deaf man has sued Pornhub and other pornographic websites because he said he “cannot enjoy video content” without closed captioning.
Yaroslav Suris, a New York resident, tried to watch videos on Pornhub entitled “Hot Step Aunt Babysits Disobedient Nephew,” “Sexy Cop Gets Witness To Talk” and others in October 2019 and January 2020, but was could not due to the website's lack of closed captioning, according to the lawsuit filed Thursday in the Eastern District of New York.
The lawsuit alleges that Pornhub, RedTube and YouPorn are in violation of the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act. Part of the ADA's goal is to provide “full and equal enjoyment” of a public accommodation’s goods, services, facilities and privileges, according to the lawsuit.
"Websites that prevent accessibility to deaf and hard of hearing individuals is a discriminatory act," the lawsuit reads.
The ADA cites that its purpose is "to make sure that people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else."
Pornhub's Vice President Corey Price disputed the claim that the website doesn't offer closed captions.
"While we do not generally comment on active lawsuits, we’d like to take this opportunity to point out that we do have a closed captions category," according to a statement from Price provided to ABC News. The statement included a link to its closed captions section.
Suris has previously sued Fox News, the New York Post and other outlets alleging similar ADA violations on their websites.
He is seeking compensatory damages, civil penalties and fines against Pornhub.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Conor McGregor’s opening flurry — a punch that missed, followed by shoulder and elbow shots to the face — bloodied Donald Cerrone’s nose. He then floored Cerrone only 20 seconds into the bout with a perfectly placed kick to the head, and he mercilessly finished on the ground.
HE. IS. BACK.
— UFC (@ufc) January 19, 2020
@TheNotoriousMMA CLOSES THE SHOW EARLY! WOW! #UFC246 pic.twitter.com/0B0NXbi6pY
When he paraded around the ring with an Irish flag on his shoulders to celebrate, the mixed martial arts world knew McGregor is back with a big bang.
The Irish former two-division champion came out of a three-year stretch of relative inactivity and outside-the-cage troubles with a welterweight performance in UFC 246 on Saturday night that echoed his greatest fights during his unparalleled rise.
“I feel really good, and I came out of here unscathed,” McGregor said. “I’m in shape. We’ve got work to do to get back to where I was.”
After hurting Cerrone (36-14) with his first punch, McGregor (22-4) dropped him with a sublime kick to the jaw. McGregor pounced and forced referee Herb Dean to save Cerrone, delighting a sellout crowd of 19,040 at T-Mobile Arena.
McGregor’s hand hadn’t been raised in victory since November 2016, when he stopped lightweight Eddie Alvarez to become the first fighter in UFC history to hold two championship belts simultaneously. With his fame and fortune multiplying, McGregor fought only his boxing match with Floyd Mayweather in 2017, and he lost a one-sided UFC bout to lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov in late 2018.
“I wasn’t committed,” McGregor said afterward while speaking to reporters with a bottle of his Proper Twelve whiskey on the table before him. “I just felt like I disrespected the people that believed in me and supported me. That’s what led me to re-center myself and get back to where I was at.”
After a year spent out of competition and in repeated trouble with the law, McGregor got back into training and vowed to return to elite form. This dramatic victory over Cerrone indicated he’s well on his way, and McGregor has vowed to fight multiple times in 2020.
Welterweight champion Kamaru Usman and veteran brawler Jorge Masvidal watched UFC 246 from cageside. Either man could be McGregor’s next opponent, but UFC President Dana White is pushing for a rematch with Nurmagomedov, who first fights Tony Ferguson in April.
“Any one of these mouthy fools can get it,” McGregor yelled into the microphone. “Every single one of them can get it. It does not matter. I’m back and I’m ready.”
CONOR HAS A LIST!
— UFC (@ufc) January 19, 2020
Line them up, @TheNotoriousMMA is taking all comers! #UFC246 pic.twitter.com/thQithYM5X
McGregor also wants to make up for his loss to Nurmagomedov, but he doesn’t want to wait until the champion is ready to fight again in late summer. McGregor wants an earlier fight, and he predicted that the Nurmagomedov-Ferguson fight will be scrapped, as it already has four times during those fighters’ careers.
Cerrone is the winningest fighter in UFC history with 23 victories, a mark that reflects both his durability and commitment to an uncommonly busy schedule. Cerrone, who also holds the UFC record with 16 stoppage wins, had fought a whopping 11 times since McGregor’s win over Alvarez, and he was in the cage for the 15th time since he lost his only UFC title shot in December 2015.
But Cerrone’s last two fights were stopped when he took too much damage, and he couldn’t block McGregor’s decisive kick or recover from the punishment on the ground.
“I’d never seen anything like that,” Cerrone said. “He busted my nose, it started bleeding, and he stepped back and head-kicked me. Oh, man. This happened this fast?”
A true pioneer of the game.
— UFC (@ufc) January 19, 2020
Nothing but respect for @CowboyCerrone! #UFC246 pic.twitter.com/mVBUVQT06X
Although many observers have scoffed, the 31-year-old McGregor believes he can reclaim the fearsome form he showed during his meteoric rise to unprecedented MMA success. He won 15 consecutive fights during a five-year run from low-profile shows in Dublin to the world’s biggest MMA events, stopping five straight elite UFC opponents with punches on the way up.
After his latest victory ended, McGregor peeled away briefly to celebrate, but quickly returned to comfort the disoriented Cerrone. When Cerrone’s grandmother, Jerry, entered the cage after the fight to hug her grandson, McGregor also hugged Jerry and got a kiss on the cheek.
Even after his prolonged absence — or maybe because of it — McGregor’s return was a huge seller on pay-per-view, according to White. The UFC said it made more than $11 million in ticket sales at T-Mobile Arena for the fourth-biggest gate total in the promotion’s history.
“This guy is such a huge superstar,” White said. “I put him up there with (Mike) Tyson, (Sugar Ray) Leonard, all of them. He’s got the biggest pay-per-view in history, and how many of the top 10 does he have? I don’t know. Coming up in his career, he’s been doubted for his talent, and he proves them wrong every time.”
An eager Vegas crowd showed up in person, with celebrities including Matthew McConaughey, Jeremy Renner and Dave Bautista, along with NFL stars Tom Brady, Christian McCaffrey, Baker Mayfield, Myles Garrett and Jon Gruden.
Former bantamweight champion Holly Holm beat Raquel Pennington by unanimous decision in the penultimate bout of UFC 246. The 38-year-old Holm (13-5) had lost five of her seven fights since she memorably knocked out Ronda Rousey in November 2015.

On the undercard, 37-year-old flyweight Roxanne Modafferi pulled off one of the biggest upsets in recent UFC history with a one-sided decision victory over previously unbeaten 21-year-old Maycee Barber, the UFC’s top 125-pound prospect.
What a result! @RoxyFighter slowing The Future down at #UFC246! pic.twitter.com/yde8E9YELp
— UFC (@ufc) January 19, 2020
Barber (8-1) injured her left knee during the bout, but Modafferi (24-16) was already dominating with the superior jiu-jitsu she has been practicing for Barber’s entire life. Modafferi was the biggest betting underdog on the UFC 246 card, facing 10-to-1 odds at some sports books.

OWOSSO, MI — A mid-Michigan man found more than $43,000 in cash hidden in a couch he bought from a secondhand store, and though he had no apparent legal obligation to do so, he decided to return the money to the family who donated the item.
Ovid resident Howard Kirby recently bought a set of furniture for $70 from the Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Owosso. After the couch spent a few weeks in his “man cave,” he started to think something was off.
“The foot cushion always seemed kind of hard,” Kirby said Friday, Jan. 17.
His daughter-in-law finally opened the cushion and was surprised to find a box containing tens of thousands of dollars in cash - $43,170, once they counted it up.
Surprised at his good fortune, Kirby considered how the cash could change his life: He could finish paying his house off and fix his roof and still have some left over. He contacted a lawyer and learned he had the legal right to keep the cash.
But Kirby felt his faith called him to do the right thing and try to return the money to the family who donated the couch.
“The Holy Spirit just came over me and said, ‘No, that’s really not yours,’” Kirby said.
Kirby went back to the store, which got in contact with the family, he said. They arranged a meeting in the store for Kirby to return the family’s lost money, but Restore manager Rick Merling said initially it wasn’t clear how much cash was involved.

DB says the guy was attempting to film him outside of the hotel while he was holding his kid, and after repeatedly asking him to refrain ... DaBaby says the employee refused and kept filming anyway. DaBaby says he asked the dude to delete the video, and it doesn't sound like he listened ... at first.
Bottom line though ... he says his family's safety comes first, and he was dead set on making sure this fella understood that too.

Future claims his alleged baby mama has an unhealthy obsession with him, and he wants a judge to force her to get a check-up ... from the neck up.
The rapper's filed legal docs asking the court to order a psychological evaluation for Eliza Seraphin, the woman alleging Future fathered his SEVENTH child with her.
Future claims Eliza is spewing hate toward him on social media, and he thinks she might be suffering from a mental disorder. He says things are getting so out of hand, he fears she may harm him or her daughter.
According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Future says Eliza has a history of violence and has been arrested before for assaulting former lovers with firearms. He claims her overly emotional behavior on social media is another sign of mental health issues.
Future doesn't address whether he's the child's father, but he claims Eliza was taking fertility pills as a ploy to get pregnant with a rich man's baby. Future also says she's using the child to squeeze money out of him, and publicly embarrass and harass him.
TMZ broke the story ... Future claimed Eliza was nothing but a fraud after she filed a paternity suit against him in Florida. She claims he knocked her up and then ghosted her after she gave birth.
Future is worried Eliza is brainwashing, demoralizing and ruining the self-esteem of the child, and he wants the mental health evaluation to help determine if she's fit to be a mother.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. -- Quick-thinking Massachusetts police used a highway construction site to stop the vehicle of a suspected kidnapper and rescue an 11-year-old girl Wednesday night.
Charlotte Moccia, of Springfield, was rescued unharmed after she was apparently abducted after getting off the school bus on Wednesday afternoon.
The girl was forced into a dark blue Honda at about 1:26 p.m., "not long after she got off her school bus," according to Massachusetts State Police.
Authorities issued an Amber Alert and released photos of Charlotte and the car they said was used in the abduction. At around 7:15 p.m., state police began receiving 911 calls from motorists on the Massachusetts Turnpike who had spotted the car near Brimfield, about half an hour from Springfield.
Amanda Disley and Benny Correa were among those who spotted the car and called police. Disley shot video from inside the car while Correa followed the suspect, providing valuable information to police officers along the way.
"When he noticed that we were really chasing him all the way down the side streets, he just started blowing through every single red light, and my husband blew threw every single red light with him," Disley later told local television station WGGB.
"It's our city. We don't do that kind of stuff around here. That's not how we play, there's zero tolerance for that," Correa said of the abduction.
Officers eventually used a road construction site along the turnpike to funnel traffic into one lane, and then slow the traffic to a crawl. When they spotted the suspect's car, they stopped the vehicle and found Charlotte in the back seat, with the suspect in the driver's seat and a knife visible in the pocket of the door, police said.
One officer got Charlotte out of the car while two others removed the suspect at gunpoint.
"She's an amazing little girl," said State Police Lt. Bob Ackerman of Charlotte, who attends Hampden Charter School of Science. "I can't believe how strong she was dealing with this."
Charlotte was transported to the hospital for precautionary evaluation, but had no apparent injuries according to authorities.
The suspect, who was identified as 24-year-old Miguel Rodriguez was taken into custody.
"We're eternally grateful to the motorists that paid attention to the Amber Alert and called and reported seeing the vehicle," said Lt. Charles Murray. "There were a number of those calls and they made this rescue possible."
