The theme this year “Black Lives Matter”. In Sacramento, the MLK March (2015) honored 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. Dr. King received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 for his role in the Civil Rights Movement. One March with three different starting locations: (Oak Park Community Center, Sacramento City College, Grant High School). 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.

Just my opinion but this event/activity is no longer a march for social justice to increase awareness on the injustice endured by African Americans or even other ethnicities and genders but it is simply a parade: a public procession, especially one celebrating a special day or event and including marching bands and floats
