Today We Honor Martin Luther King Jr. On His 50th Anniversary
Today, the nation celebrates Martin Luther King Junior Day. This year’s celebration is extra special because it is the 50th anniversary since Dr. King’s death and it actually falls on his birthday as well. In remembrance, here are a couple ways you can celebrate in Los Angeles:
LACMA will be hosting a free day on Monday, Jan. 15 so you can celebrate dreams and diversity through art. The museum will be offering bilingual tours, a family sketching activity and live music with Diana Purim and Eyedentity at 12:30 and 2:45 p.m. Plus, there are all the family favorites like the Boone Children’s Gallery, Chris Burden’s Metropolis II, and the Levitated Mass.
Also, the California African American Museum will be hosting their annual Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration. There will be fun for the whole family beginning with kid’s art workshops where everyone can make a dream catcher filled with their dreams for a better world or contribute to the community peace garden exhibition. There will also be a discussion about women activists during the civil rights movement and a study of Dr. King’s speeches. Plus, there will also be food so you can spend the day soaking in positive energy, good food, and community.
