The Brooklyn Academy of Music held their annual tribute to Martin Luther King Jr. on Monday morning, inviting lawmakers and activists to punctuate a morning of songs and performances with promises to continue King’s work two days after what would have been his 92nd birthday.
Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso served as the event’s master of ceremonies, guiding the audience — who watched in-person and via livestream — through a keynote speech by Dr. Imani Perry and musical performances by Nona Hendryx and gospel choir Sing Harlem.
