The Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Scholarship Fund, which
offers $500 grants to Sacramento-area high school seniors,
has scheduled its annual awards dinner for Jan. 15 at UC
Davis. The Office of Campus Community Relations is co-sponsoring
the dinner, which is being held at the university for the
first time since the event’s inception in 2004. The sixth
annual tribute to the slain civil rights leader comes at
a time when two new African American leaders are living
up to his legacy: Barack Obama as the new president of the
United States and Kevin Johnson as the new mayor of Sacramento.
Also, the dinner is taking place on King’s birthday, when
he would have been 80. |
