2023 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. television special airs Monday on WBTV

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - WBTV is taking a look at the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his impact in the Charlotte area.

The 2023 Atrium Health Charlotte-Mecklenburg Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. National Holiday Celebration aired on Monday, January 16, 2023, at 7:00 p.m. on WBTV and all of WBTV’s streaming apps.

Last year, we heard from leaders from all across Charlotte as they discussed Dr. King’s legacy and the influence he continues to have right here at home.

This year, WBTV’s hour-long special continues to focus on Dr. King’s message of unity with even more conversations with those local individuals.

You can watch all five parts of this year’s special in the playlist below.

A special thank you to our partners at the City of Charlotte, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Community Relations, Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation, Food Lion, and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools.
