SAN ANTONIO – The city’s Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Commission on Wednesday is expected to give details on next year’s MLK march, which will take place virtually instead of in-person due to the pandemic.
Mayor Ron Nirenberg, interim commission chair Renee Watson and District 2 Councilwoman Jada Andrews-Sullivan will make the announcement at 11:15 a.m.
It has been held every year in San Antonio since Jan. 19, 1987.
The commission initially said the virtual event could include a 2-hour feature of speakers, entertainment and scholarship receptions.
