This weekend, many of us will remember the legacy and lessons of the slain civil rights hero Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. This installment of Get Out features some events designed to remember Dr. King, whose birthday is Jan. 15. We also have ideas that could help with ongoing resolutions to lose weight and/or get healthy, everything from Masala Bhangra to power stepping. You'll also find arts events and programs to ease the mind. We're excited already: It's going to be a super weekend, Parsippany. Get out and make the most of it.
