Today of course is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. For 25 years now, the University of Evansville has been organizing a re-enactment of the 1963 Civil Rights march on Washington. It's not just students that take part. It's more of a tradition for the whole community.

"Makes me feel good we do this every year," said UE student Kevin Kaczmarski. "This is my third year. With all these people showing support and playing drums, it kind of gets you all jacked up. It really does."

And the walk for justice wasn't the only event going on today at UE. The campus is also hosted a special lecture tonight. The keynote speaker was the Chief Judge Timothy Evans of Cook County, Illinois Circuit Court.
