Theme this year “Black Lives Matter”. The MLK 2015 Celebration event will honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Dr. King was among our nation's foremost leaders in combating racial inequality through nonviolence.

Our local news reports approximately 26,000 people participated in the annual MLK March for not only peace and unity in the community but also marching to close the Achievement Gap with Sacramento area high school students. Once again I was the event photographer for this event capturing the participation of the members of the Divine 9 BGLO (Black Greek Letter Organizations: Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc., Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc., Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc., and Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc.)
