    Annual Martin Luther King Tribute

    For Martin Luther King Day, it’s our annual one-minute readings about any ethnic group other than your own. This is one way we pay tribute to Dr. King, with a minute of a poem, a novel, a history book, a memoir, a website, a magazine--anything at all—as long as it’s a one-minute reading about any ethnic group other than your own. And we hope you’ll take part! Also: NPR correspondent Juan Williams and Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer David Garrow.
