Today we remember one of our nation's greatest heroes, Martin Luther King Jr.

But the pandemic is changing the way he's being honored.

The National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, usually packed with thousands of people on this day, will hold its events virtually.

That's the case for most events.

Marches and parades will move their usual routes to Zoom.
