Churches to Ring Bells Today to Honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

The First Congregational Church and Highlands Congregational Church will ring their bells today to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who was assassinated 50 years ago today. 

The bell-ringing is part of the 50th Anniversary Commemoration sponsored by the National Civil Rights Museum:

Since the news rippled across the country, the bells will first ring at the National Civil Rights Museum at 6:01 p.m. CST. Bells will chime in the City of Memphis at 6:03 p.m. CST, 6:05 p.m. CST nationally and 6:07 p.m. CST internationally. Please join us in this solemn reflection.

Please join us in a few moments of reflection on the life and work of Dr. King.
