Fifty years after the assassination of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., the MLK Holiday Breakfast "Building Bridges for a Bold Dream" welcomed a capacity crowd Jan. 15 to the Armory in downtown Minneapolis. The keynote speaker was actor and producer David Oyelowo, who portrayed the civil rights leader in the 2014 film "Selma." Proceeds benefit the United Negro College Fund's Minneapolis chapter.
