"Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. DAY OF SERVICE On January, 18, 2010, people of all ages and backgrounds will come together to improve lives, bridge social barriers, and to move our nation closer to the “Beloved Community” that Dr. King envisioned. Dr. Martin Luther King devoted his life’s work to causes of equality and social justice. He taught that through nonviolence and service to one another, problems such as hunger and homelessness, prejudice and discrimination can be overcome. Dr. King’s teachings can continue to guide us in addressing our nation’s most pressing needs---poverty, economic insecurity, job loss and education. The Kingdom Day Parade in Los Angeles will be held on Monday, January 18, 2010. It begins at 10:15 AM at Martin Luther King Boulevard and Western Avenue, traveling west on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard to Crenshaw Boulevard, south on Crenshaw Boulevard to Vernon Avenue with a festival at Leimert Park.
