Coordinating the Luminary Event this year has been so much fun and realatively easy because of all of the work completed in previous years.   I am so excited because this year the event has expanded encompassing most of the SouthWest Neighborhood including the Susan B. Anthony District. 

What I am most proud of is the unity and willingness for citizens of this city coming together.  Sharing the dream is only a small part of the Dr. Kings dream.   We must most of all live the dream.   I can honestly say that I am living a good portion of his dream by choosing to live in the southwest district.  Our neighborhood includes all kinds of people and can become a template for other neighborhoods.   

I have been tasked with coordinating the MLK Luminary Event, but the truth is everyone on this site has assisted with the coordination efforts.  I am most grateful for that. 

Please check the Democrat on Chronicle website for a listing of MLK Events, including our very own MLK Luminary Evening Event.
