A recent proclamation for Martin Luther King Jr. Day by Vacaville Councilmember Roy Stockton incited controversy as he chose to attend a related event in Vallejo. This decision conflicted with a local celebration occurring simultaneously in Vacaville, which drew criticism from community leaders like Mary Vasquez. While Stockton expressed gratitude for the collective efforts to honor Dr. King's legacy, the choice not to support a local event raised questions about representation and commitment to the community he serves.
"I am truly appreciative to live in a community that not only recognizes the importance of his message but actively works to uphold his dream of equality, justice, and love for all."
"Today's event was a beautiful reminder of the strength and unity in our community as we come together to honor Dr. King's remarkable legacy."
