MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - The 52nd anniversary of the death of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. will be honored a little differently this year.

COVID-19 has prompted the National Civil Rights Museum to change plans and turn to a virtual commemoration Saturday.

"Remembering MLK: The Man. The Movement. The Moment." will be broadcasted on the museum's website and social media platforms.

The virtual commemoration will include portions of the MLK-50 celebration, including remarks from civil rights icons, and will culminate with an excerpt from Dr. King's "Mountaintop" speech and a moment of silent reflection.

5pm Tomorrow! Central time.
