We honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. today on what would have been his 96th birthday. The impact of his leadership continues to inspire social justice advocates and leaders to this day.

At Turn Up Knox, we have chosen to be the change we want to see as we continue our work to reduce gun violence in Knoxville.
