Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s life and legacy will be commemorated at Contra Costa County’s 42nd Annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Ceremony, a free community event on Tuesday, January 21, 2020 at 651 Pine Street, Martinez.
In the spirit of Dr. King’s work and the theme, “We Are in This Together”, the County is now seeking nominations for a student and adult Humanitarian of the Year.
Contra Costa County’s Board of Supervisors will recognize two individuals, (1) a community member and (2) a student leader as individuals whose dedication to others embodies the spirit and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. at the January event.
East Bay residents are asked to nominate an adult and/or a student whose accomplishments and service impact Contra Costa County, its residents and communities, and reflect the spirit of Dr. King’s work and achievements.
The nomination period is now open. The deadline to submit candidates for consideration is Tuesday, November 5, 2019.
