The Hawks plan to unveil a new “MLK Wall” at a special pregame ceremony Monday to honor the legacy of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
The annual MLK Day event is scheduled for 6 p.m. on the holiday, just ahead of the Hawks’ tipoff against the Milwaukee Bucks at State Farm Arena.
The MLK Wall is described as an educational experience on the life and legacy of the late civil rights leader.
Ceremonies will be held before the game and at halftime, and will include a musical tribute to King’s life and legacy as well as a dedication of the team’s 2020-21 MLK City Edition jersey and court.
Members of the dReam Center Church of Atlanta will sing the starting lineup as part of the player introductions along with the national anthem. Also, several Atlanta business leaders will speak as part of a panel on building generational wealth.
