    Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 07 Mar, 2017 12:25 PM
      LETHBRIDGE, Alta. — The oldest son of Martin Luther King Jr. is praising Canada for being a beacon of freedom.
       
      At a leadership conference in Lethbridge this morning, Martin Luther King III says his father gave a series of lectures in Toronto 50 years ago.
       
      He says his father paid homage to Canada for being a haven for those seeking freedom through the Underground Railroad.
       
      King says Canada continues to be a "north star" for those seeking freedom.
       
      He says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Canada have set a "wonderful standard of freedom" watched by millions of people.
       
      King's praise comes as U.S. President Donald Trump imposes another travel ban on people from a handful of predominantly Muslim countries.
