The dream of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. comes alive in an adult Greek class that begins on his national holiday today.

Have you ever thought of learning the Greek language and some Greek culture as well? You have a chance to tonight at the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church in Memphis. Retired Priest Father Nicholas Vieron is beginning his Adult Greek tonight in the church hall at Sam Cooper and Highland in Memphis.

Father Vieron has been teaching his adult greek class for 40 years and always begins on Martin Luther King Day. Vieron is one of a few white ministers left from the 1968 struggle who manifested efforts for social justice led by the late Rabbi James Wax.

It's a 14 week course that meets once a week at the church

The National Civil Rights Museum will honor the leadership, vision, beliefs and sacrifice of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by inviting you to support the families who depend on the Mid-South Food Bank.

On January 21  visitors can bring canned good items and receive $1 off the discounted King Holiday museum admission. The canned goods will help stock the shelves of the food bank, and eventually serve the 20 percent of the population of Shelby County that's struggling with food insecurity,

 "We are proud to be part of the National Civil Rights Museum's programs for the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.  The Museum has included us in the event for several years, resulting in hundreds of pounds of food to help feed hungry people in our community," said president & CEO of Mid-South Food Bank Estella Mayhue-Greer.
