WASHINGTON - Events were held across the country in honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on his birthday.

Fifth-grade students from Watkins Elementary in Washington D.C. recited King's "I Have a Dream" speech Friday on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in an annual event that has been held each year on this day for over a decade.

FOX 5 Photojournalist Chip Baysden was there to watch the students honor Dr. King at the same place he delivered his speech during the 1963 March on Washington. (Watch the video above)
