A few dozen people in Chicago joined with Rainbow PUSH to head to Memphis Monday night.
They come from all over the city, going there to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Doctor Martin Luther King Junior's assassination
The Reverend Jesse Jackson is already in Memphis getting ready for the events taking place on Wednesday.
“I want to show that I am down for the cause,” said Kiarra Jefferson.
Loading up onto a bus, a group of a few dozen people left Rainbow PUSH to go to Tennessee. They'll be joining thousands of others from around the country in Memphis, commemorating the 50th year since Dr. King's murder.
“It's important to know everything start to finish, even though it's kind of sad that it happened,” said Nia Symone-Gales.
“Just to show that his work was not in vein,” said Zachary Love.
Love is taking the trip after being encouraged to go by his older brother.
“He needs to know what Dr. King meant to society to carry the legacy on. He's a part of the dream that Dr. King spoke about,” David Love said.
King was assassinated at the Lorraine Motel -- a place where two Chicago leaders will speak come Wednesday: Father Michael Pfleger of Saint Sabina and Reverend Jesse Jackson.
King also spent several years fighting for justice on Chicago’s West Side.
“In Chicago we're more divided between our own race than anything so if we make the step as one race to come together then we can make another step as different races to come together,” said Jamila Smith.
The group will be in Memphis through Wednesday. There will be a service at Rainbow PUSH on Wednesday, April 4th - exactly 50 years after King's death in 1968. That will start at 5 p.m.
