"A night of music-driven celebration, Living Jazz remembers King's legacy while also paying tribute to the revolutionary sounds of Bay Area icon Sly Stone. Former Sly and the Family Stone bassist Rustee Allen joins the night alongside an ensemble of powerful singers and musicians - including Kev Choice, Adrian Marcel, Black London, Martin Luther McCoy, August Lee Stevens and B DeVeaux - performing reimagined versions of classics like "Everyday People" and "Dance to the Music.""
"This community walk honors King's legacy and desire to strengthen community. Starting at Sacramento City College, marchers will walk the 4.6-mile route to the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center. The first mile will be symbolically walked in silence as a protest to ongoing injustices and as an opportunity to reflect on the past. The Museum of the African Diaspora opens its doors for a full day of free admission and programs honoring MLK."
"This 12th annual march centers around King's "uncompromising vision for anti-capitalist, anti-war, racial and economic justice." The march anchors the Anti-Police Terror Project's Two Weeks of Action, which consists of various trainings, discussions, and community events. The Urban Peace Movement, Youth Together, AYPAL, 67 Sueños, BAY-Peace and CURYJ are all participating as part of this year's youth contingent, which will feature events like an art build and political education workshop"
San Leandro students will perform original and well-known works celebrating King's message of peace and social justice, accompanied by live entertainment, crafts and light refreshments. Living Jazz features Rustee Allen and an ensemble reimagining Sly and the Family Stone classics alongside powerful singers and musicians. A community walk from Sacramento City College to the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center will include a first mile walked in silence as a protest and moment of reflection. The Museum of the African Diaspora offers free admission with performances, a presentation linking MLK to Indigenous rights in Hawai'i, and a scavenger hunt. A 12th annual march centers King's anti-capitalist, anti-war, racial and economic justice and includes youth-led art and political education activities.
