The Monterey Bay community gathers to celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King's life and legacy with a march and subsequent presentations. Marchers will gather in front of the Monterey County Social Service Center in Seaside, and walk to the Oldemeyer Center. There, several people will speak in memory of Dr. King and his commitment to community service. The talks this year will focus on health and education, and speakers will include Dr. Chris Griffith, a child and adolescent psychiatrist, and David A. Johnson, who will present some musical expressions of civil and human rights movements. Finally, the Monterey Bay community will be called to participate in a 40 Day Service Challenge, inspired by the Day of Service that will kick off Obama's second inauguration. Those who choose to participate will sign commitment cards to volunteer and help their community make better choices throughout the next 40 days. [DLG]
