Martin Luther King Jr. breakfast tribute in Ontario

Here is a release about an upcoming event:

The 9th Annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Unity Breakfast Tribute will carry the tradition of music and inspiration in honor of Dr. King on Monday, January 18th, 2010, with special guest speaker Rev. Ronald V. Myers, Sr., M.D., chairman of the National Juneteenth Observance Foundation (NJOF) and noted medical missionary, musician, and activist.

Dr. Myers is featured as well as the Senior Pastors and Choirs of Mt. Zion Baptist Church of Ontario and Mt. Sinai C.O.G.I.C. in Pomona, encouraging attendees to reflect on Dr. King's legacy as we begin a new decade in an era of change.

The event will be held from 8:30 a.m.- 10:30 a.m. at the Ontario Airport Doubletree Hotel, with doors opening at 8 a.m..

Dr. Myers' work as a medical missionary has garnered national media coverage, in ABC's "Good Morning America", People Magazine and New York Times, and joins the breakfast tribute while on the trail of leading the nation into acknowledging "Juneteenth", most recently achieving Wisconsin as the 32nd state, this past December, to recognize Juneteenth as a paid holiday. The breakfast tribute has been a staple event in the Inland Empire, creating a forum to embrace diversity and American heritage, amongst dignitaries, community leaders, and families looking to celebrate the holiday.
