FRAMINGHAM, MA — Welcome to the end of another work week, and the beginning of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday long weekend.

MLK Day celebrates King's birthday (although his real birthday is today), and is typically used as a "day on" to perform community service. You can find some local events happening this weekend here.

Also today, state Attorney General Maura Healey revealed that two men have been indicted after police busted two brothels in Framingham. The men — one from Queens, N.Y., and the other from Framingham — forced women into prostitution in weekly rotations, Healey said.
