If Monday is a holiday for you, that’s just one reason to thank the late Martin Luther King Jr., whose dream of racial and social equality still resonates in 2010.

The Martin Luther King Jr. Coalition will be honoring the revered civil rights leader with a 9 a.m. parade from Ala Moana Beach Park to Kapiçolani Park, the site of a daylong unity rally with entertainment, food and vendors from 11 a.m.
Both events are free. Visit www.mlkhawaii.com for more information.
