Oakland’s Taylor Memorial Methodist Church hosted the 12th annual Martin Luther King Jr. National Holiday Celebration, “Make the Dream Real,” last Monday. The free event was designed to encourage more people to celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day as a day of community service.
Oakland Police Chief Anthony Batts gave the keynote address, and Aimee Allison of KPFA’s “The Morning Show” served as the mistress of ceremonies.
Performances were given by Destiny Knuckles, Winnie Wong and the Chinese Traditional Orchestra, Oakland Interfaith Youth Gospel Choir, Oakland School for the Arts Choir and ArtEsteem Youth Leaders.
Three Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Awards were presented to local residents for exemplary service work.
