1/16/12 – Governor Scott Walker will appear at two special events on this Martin Luther King Day. He’ll attend the annual Milwaukee Y-M-C-A breakfast in honor of the slain civil rights leader. And Walker will speak at the state’s official King Day ceremony at noon at the State Capitol. It’s one of a number of events being held throughout Wisconsin today in King’s memory. The Reverend C-T Vivian will speak at the Madison-and-Dane County observance. Vivian was one of King’s friends who started the Nashville Christian Leadership Conference. The group held the first civil rights march of the King era in 1961.
