Pres. Biden will deliver a sermon at Martin Luther King Jr.'s church in Atlanta to celebrate the civil rights leader's life and legacy.
King was just 39 when he was assassinated in 1968 while supporting striking sanitation workers in Memphis, Tennessee.
"And you can't come to Atlanta and not acknowledge the role that the civil rights movement and Dr. King played and where we are in the history of our country, but we still have to push forward," Bottoms said. "We still have more work to do." Following his sermon at Ebenezer Church, Biden will join Rev. Al Sharpton on Monday at the National Action Network in Washington. There, he will deliver the keynote address to commemorate Martin Luther King Day.
