WNYC and the Apollo Theater present the 12th annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Celebration.

The afternoon features lively conversations with notable guests, including former attorney and MLK advisor Dr. Clarence Jones, Women’s March co-founder Linda Sarsour, Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors and 2008 Green Party vice presidential candidate Rosa Clemente. Panelists will explore the progress that has been made in the half-century since Dr. King’s untimely death, the evolution and persistence of issues he fought to eliminate — from racial and wage inequality to housing discrimination to police brutality — and the question of what Dr. King’s vision and leadership mean in this time of moral and ethical ambiguity. In effect: what happens to his dream deferred? 

WNYC’s Peabody Award-winning host Brian Lehrer and local All Things Consideredhost Jami Floyd will moderate the afternoon, with WQXR's Terrance McKnight as Master of Ceremonies.   

Watch below beginning at 3 p.m. ET.
