One of SoCal's largest celebrations of Dr. King's birthday goes virtual for the first time, honoring his memory and his work toward nonviolence with readings, music, and scholarship presentations. Speakers include Congresswoman Karen Bass and Tamika Butler.

This year’s celebration embraces the theme “If not us, then who? If not now then when?”

The event is cosponsored by Santa Monica College and the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. Westside Coalition. Performances are included by the Santa Monica High School Choir and the Peace Player Drummers. A Community Involvement Fair follows the ceremony, held on the website, showcasing a variety of community organizations.
