5. Interfaith Worship Service, Honoring the Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Where/When: First Mennonite Church

Why Go: Although Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. still inspires people of all colors and creeds to this day, it sometimes is lost that his religion played a huge part in not only the creation of his ideals, but also aided in the transmission of his message to a broad and passionate coalition of people. Appropriately, an interfaith service kicks off a week at the University of Iowa devoted to Dr. King and human rights.

Pricing: Free
