The creative team behind the Oscar-nominated film will march in Selma on Monday, as an homage to the events depicted in the film.

The filmmakers of “Selma" will celebrate civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr. on his birthday by marching in his honor.

The creative team behind the drama, which received an Oscar nod for best picture but was snubbed in other major categories, will march in Selma, Ala., on Monday to commemorate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.

There’s a radio ad playing right now featuring MLK and his sons voices. It’s a govt run ad sounds like, and at the end says “find out how you can volunteer on MLK Day and beyond “. I heard that as we need warm bodies for MLK day protests. And beyond.
