#ThrowBackToday: Wikipedia celebrates two decades of existence with a virtual party and you are all invited! – EdexLive
Wikipedia | (Internet)
The free online encyclopedia that we all depend on irrevocably, Wikipedia was launched on January 15, 2001. And this year is all the more special because it celebrated its 20th birthday. And they are throwing a party! A virtual one, of course. The non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, which operates Wikipedia, is the host and you are all invited. Catch the YouTube livestream on January 15 at 16:00 UTC onyoutu.be/PzGAGfSObOw

But it wasn't on this day that Wonder's love for the king surfaced. It was a decade-long quest for the musician. Such was the impact and legacy of Martin Luther King. If it doesnt happen this year, we must do it next year and again and again and again until it happens, declared the record producer with determination at one of the press events.
