Monday is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, which is celebrated across the United States on the third Monday of January each year.In this week's Ask Caray, 비바카지노 Viva's Caray Grace explores King's ties to Louisville, along with his last visit to the Derby City.What did Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. do on his last visit to Louisville?March 1967 would mark King's final visit to Louisville, about one year before his death. He was invited to speak before a Southern Christian Leadership Conference, but his speech focused on racial discrimination in Louisville's housing market.Rev. Charles Elliott remembers his visit well."He came here to work with us primarily on the issue of housing... integrating housing... there was a white lady who sold a house to a black family and burned that house down, so from that time on we started marching for integration and open housing," Elliott said.That would be King's final visit to Louisville.Elliott says he accompanied the civil rights giant on all of his visits to Louisville and traveled the country with him, including the march on Selma."I got a knot on me right now where a dog bit me in Birmingham, Alabama, where we were marching for civil rights," Elliott said.At 90 years old, Elliott is a civil rights pioneer. He says King was an inspiration and his death was motivation to continue the fight for racial equality."When you're in the presence of Dr. King, you really feel comfortable all the power that you had and the connection... we would sit on the floor and tell jokes," Elliott said. "History is very important to our young people to inform them the price that was paid by ancestors."Have your own questions to submit?
