Date set for Martin Luther King Jr. celebration

| | Comments (3) |

The 29th Annual MLK Celebration will take place Jan. 16 at Pilgrim Congregational Church, 600 N. Garey Ave.

The event, organized by The Pomona Inland Valley Martin Luther King, Jr. Project, will include Michael Ajakwe, Jr., as keynote speaker.

Ajakwe, a writer on television shows such as "Martin," "Eve," and "The Parkers," will deliver a speech titled "Racism, the media and the 21st Century."

Through the annual event organizers work to continue "a legacy of inspiring younger generations to emulate the late Dr. King," according to a statement from the Project.

During the event the Project will recognize several Inland Valley teens with the MLK Youth Social Justice Awards.

The awards are presented to youth ages 15 to 19 for their commitment to community and the philosophies of King, the statement said.
