Isaac Newton Farris Jr., Senior Fellow of the King Center in Atlanta, Georgia and Dr. King's nephew gave a presentation titled, “It Starts with Me” in Colorado Springs.

Farris Jr also spoke with News5 reporter Caroline Peters about his uncle's legacy, and an extended cut of the conversation will be online on Martin Luther King Day.

The purpose of the speech was to celebrate his uncle’s legacy and encourage our youth to get involved within the community.
