Reaffirming the Courage and Reclaiming the Dream of MLK in Los Angeles
Hundreds gathered in Los Angeles to celebrate at the annual MLK Day Parade 2026.
"This is a time to certainly celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King," said Councilmember Curren Price, adding that "we're reminded every day about the values, the principles that he died and he fought for."
Council President Marqueece Harris-Dawson said that while we celebrate MLK every year here in Los Angeles, this year is special. "Because we're in a fight and we're fighting over all the things that Martin Luther King stood for." That includes the everyday freedoms of being human and, "to not be targeted because of how you talk, or how you look. Those are things that Dr. King left to us. That we gotta fight to make sure we leave for the next generation."
