Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner will be spending his Martin Luther King holiday remembering the man that helped change how this country sees race. The governor is scheduled to visit three MLK celebrations today, all of them in Chicago.

Programs were also scheduled in Kankakee County and in Danville to honor the slain civil rights leader.

Most all governmental offices are closed. Schools are closed in Illinois. And there is no postal delivery.
