Two Chances to Celebrate King Day This Weekend
Martin Luther King, the man and his vision for peace and social justice, will be celebrated with two days of joyous, provocative and thoughtful events this weekend — on Sunday, from 3 to 7 p.m., at the Senior Center, 4095 Overland Ave., and on Monday at the King Fahad Mosque, 10980 Washington Blvd., from 1:30 to 3:30. Both events are free.
“Let Justice Roll Like the Mighty River” inspired Dr. King, and 39 years after his assassination, it will unite the events of this weekend’s celebration in Culver City.
Sunday’s events will include a panel presentation, entertainment and a movie. Monday’s events feature a tour of the King Fahad Mosque and a discussion of its ties to Dr. King.
