NEWS FROM THE DEI COMMITTEE

JANUARY 17 - CELEBRATING MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY
On Monday, January 17, we celebrate the life and legacy of Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. who advocated the use of nonviolent means to end racial segregation.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is one of the most influential of African American civil rights leaders during the 1960s and was instrumental in the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which outlawed discrimination in public accommodations, facilities, and employment, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Dr. King was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1964.

He was assassinated on April 4, 1968.
The California African American Museum celebrates this special day with a full day of programs for kids, teens and their families.

Drop in to enjoy open galleries and special programs offered throughout the day, including a King family story time with the Los Angeles Public Library, a King speech study group, and a performance by members of the Inner City Youth Orchestra of Los Angeles (ICYOLA), the largest majority African American orchestra in America.
