The Martin Luther King Committee has made the difficult decision to cancel Monday's Martin Luther King Freedom March.

The committee acted out of an abundance of caution. Roads are slick and freezing over. Organizers were not only concerned about the route of the march, but also about the condition of the roads participants would use to get to and from the event.

The annual Commemorative Program will be available virtually on YouTube. For more information go to www.uky.edu/mlk .
