Jim Lucas, a renowned Martin Luther King, Jr. impersonator, performs at the Peabody Museum Saturday as part of a series of events that commemorated the civil rights leader’s dedication to social justice as well as environmental conservation. At the Peabody, other highlights of the family festival included live music, dance performances, storytellers and lecturers. Elsewhere on the Yale campus, some groups chose to use the holiday as an opportunity to discuss King’s relevance to current events.
