Changing history. There are not a lot of men in the world today known for this. The few who have been known for it (Jesus of Nazareth, Adolf Hitler, Christopher Columbus, etc.) have been both good, bad, and somewhere in between. However, today we honor a man who changed the course of modern American history giving African-American and other minorities opportunities they had never had before. And in honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we see our country as better for it.
That feeling is not lost here in Sacramento. A number of celebrations are planned today to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. For many people, there are many memories of this man and the effect and changes he had on America. For many others, he is an important man in 20th century America. Whether we were a part of the history made by him or just one who has studied it and lives in a world greatly affected by him, we take today to honor and remember him.
Sacramento events
- 29th Annual Martin Luther King Jr March and Celebration - The city of Sacramento will host this event at the Sacramento Convention Center and various other places to honor the man. Events include marches, exhibits, artwork, performances, vendors, and information. Join a march at 8 am at Oak Park Community Center or Grant High School. Enjoy exhibits, movies, artwork and more at the Sacrament Convention Center from 10 am - 2 pm. See civil rights vignettes and enjoy performances. For more information check out www.mlk365.org. The key to budget travel is to approach ahead. When it occurs to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved vacations and/or going to see new destinations we have never been before, the truth of expense and budgeting is often in the back of our thoughts. Organizing and consuming our travel budget carefully is a main concern for most families. Minimizing expending and expenses, while still enjoying your vacation to its fullest, is the key to guaranteed achievement and fiscal obligation. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The reasoning behind economizing money while traveling is simple: Even if your personal funds is incredibly tight, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also keeping in mind that while traveling, no matter whether on a budget or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a large vacation or travel expenses!. All the events are free.
Here is a listing of the events per the Sacramento Bee:
