MLK Day

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Yesterday would have been Dr. King's 80th birthday. Oakland honored MLK's civil rights work beginning with a ceremony downtown. There are a wide variety of service events for the Day of Service to help celebrate MLK's legacy and celebrate the inauguration of our country's first black president, so get out there and volunteer!

And support the businesses that were vandalized by a few yahoos breaking off from the otherwise peaceful protests of the shooting of Oscar Grant.

Thank you, Dr. King. May your dream come fully true.
