For the second day, religious and civil rights leaders will come together with Occupy Chicago to celebrate the life of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.

The group gathered at The People's Church of Chicago in the city's Uptown neighborhood Sunday as part of the "Occupy the Dream" movement.

U.S Representative Jan Schakowsky (D-Evanston) and Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Chicago) participated in the event to show their support, according to the Chicago Tribune.
