ILLINOIS (WAND) - Martin Luther King Jr. Day looked a little different in 2021.
In Decatur, there were no parades, banquets or service projects. However, Black Chamber of Commerce of Illinois President Corey Walker said it's important to celebrate the ideas and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. every day.
He said to be an example, people should take a non-violent approach to unrest and take care of the community.
He said to do this by supporting local businesses, helping provide education and after-school programs and serving at local non-profit organizations.Â
