Chicago Bulls Observe MLK Holiday
at Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center

On Saturday, January 16th, in recognition of the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday, Bulls center Jerome James, Bulls legend Bob Love, and thirty children from the James Jordan Boys and Girls Club spent the afternoon at the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education center celebrating the civil rights leader’s birthday. 

The players and children toured the Museum, including a special tour with Benny the Bull of the Miller Family Youth Exhibition, which focuses on speaking out against bullying, racism, intolerance and discrimination – a key message of Martin Luther King, Jr.

During the program, the group also had an opportunity to watch Martin Luther King’s famous “I Have a Dream,” speech, followed by a conversation with the players, Rick Hirschhaut, IHMEC Executive Director and Aaron Elster, IHMEC Board Vice President and Holocaust survivor.
