The Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday is also a National Day of Service - a “Day On, Not a Day Off” to honor the legacy of the civil rights leader.

In that spirit, the Chattanooga Black History Chorale hosts a concert this weekend to benefit the Chattanooga Area Food Bank - this Sunday starting at 3 PM at St. John United Methodist Church at 3921 Murray Hills Dr.

Neshawn Calloway is artistic director for the Black History Chorale.
