Service Honors King's Birthday

The Rev. Peter J. Gomes will lead a service at 12:10 p.m. in Memorial Church in commemoration of what would have been Martin Luther King Jr.'s 49th birthday.

Nancy Randolph, special assistant to President Bok for affirmative action, will give a short address, Lenora McCroskey, assistant organist, and the Kuumba Singers will provide music.

The civil rights activist and Nobel Peace Laureate was assassinated almost exactly ten years ago, in April 1968. King's birthday has been declared a national holiday.
