About this Article

Political, religious, business and education leaders gathered to honor the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. at Stone Gate in Hoffman Estates. "We're here to celebrate the 84th birthday of Dr. King and also to salute giants — companies and individuals that we believe are making a difference, breaking down barriers of gender and race and cultural barriers that exist," said the Rev. Clyde Brooks.
