The LGBTQ+ Alliance are proud co-sponsors of this years African Americans and Friends Club 2nd Annual Rossmoor Martin Luther King Jr. Walk. Other co-sponsors are Diversity Consciousness Committee (DCC) of the Interfaith Council, National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW) and Rossmoor Advocates for Diversity (RAD). This year’s march is celebrates the 30-year anniversary of the national holiday in honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

The walk will begin with a brief gathering at Gateway at 10 am and continue around the Creekside golf course. The theme of the walk is “Let Freedom Ring.” Inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s words, participants
will be walking to let freedom ring from every mountainside, every village and hamlet, every state and city, for the unalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Participants may bring signs with images of Dr. King and/or quotes from his writings, bells to ring and/or American flags to wave. In order to comply with the GRF permit, no other signs, flags or slogans will be allowed. Participants are required to stay on the sidewalks at all times.
 

Dr. King led a nonviolent movement for equality and justice for all people in the United States. He dared to imagine a day when all of us, regardless of what we believe, what we look like or who we love would be able to sit down as equals at a “table of brotherhood”, members of one Beloved Community.
