LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) â By the time the first case of COVID-19 appeared in Kentucky, Isabel Gereda Taylor was already channeling important information about the virus to those in Lexingtonâs international community.

Global Lex, a center overseen by the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government that connects limited English speakers with community resources.
Nearly 200 languages are spoken in Lexington, according to a Global Lex report. The most common foreign languages spoken are Spanish, Swahili, Arabic, Nepali, Japanese, and French.
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Jan. 15, 2021) 2020 was a year in which the world was taken to its knees. Ravaged by twin pandemics of COVID-19 and the challenges of systemic racism, the people of this country have grieved. While heartache continues around the nation, courage and the undeniable force of the human spirit have revealed themselves in the voices of activists and community members.
The year 2020 has reminded us that conditions in the United States are not so different from the very conditions that created the need for a voice like Martin Luther King Jr. The year 2020 also reminds us that the journey toward freedom and justice for Black people and other marginalized groups is long and the terrain relentless; and yet, we must keep moving. It is in the spirit of such resilience the life of Martin Luther King Jr. is honored with a day of celebration.

An American federal holiday, Martin Luther King Jr. Day is observed on the third Monday of January each year. The upcoming MLK Day will be celebrated on Jan. 18, 2021.
Lexington’s MLK Day celebration begins with the Holiday Freedom March at 10 a.m. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the following changes have been made to the traditional Freedom March procedures.
To facilitate the safest marching conditions, the march line-up, with which you are familiar, will be temporarily discarded to ensure the maximum possible opportunities for social distancing.
As you arrive, all participants are encouraged to line up along High Street adjacent to the Central Bank Center (formerly Lexington Convention Center) in an orderly and physically distanced fashion, while wearing a mask or some form of protective face shield covering.
