On the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, thousands of people came out to Palo Alto’s “Let Freedom Ring” celebration at City Hall to commemorate the historic event. The program included remarks by Dr. Clayborne Carson, director of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Research and Education Institute, Dolores Huerta, the co-founder of United Farm Workers and civil activist, and musical performances by Kim Nalley, the SCU Gospel Choir and Americano Social Club.

VIDEO: Artists, activists celebrate King’s dream
This was a beautiful and well-orchestrated tribute to a very great man. Thanks to all who put this celebration of MLK’s life together. I
I had the great privilege to see MLK at Stanford University in 1965. I had no idea what a historical occasion that was.
I hope that we can focus on the civil rights of all people (including our kids in the district) and realize the dream fully.
I know that Dr. King would also be concerned about our unhoused brothers and sisters. In light of the recent criminalization of living in one’s vehicle, I would like to include treating the unhoused in a more humane way as a civil right that we may want to focus on.
so ,not many ”blacks” showed up.surprising but telling. black america is scared and confused. following white man’s ways has got them in this mess. follow the 13 moon 28 day ”calendar” of the maya tradition. white man’s calendar is poison for all people, not to mention so called african americans. interesting fact: 911 wtc attack ocurred at 8: 59 a.m. ,”sept. 11”’. look at clock face, small hand on ”9”….large hand near ”11”. 9 -11, following white christian calendar was the reason ”9- 11”’ happened. time clock is the co – companion with european vatican calendar that you follow. weird thing right? small clock hand was on ”9”…large clock hand at ”11”. ”9 – 11”. exactly timed vby natural 13 moon time. 28 day month ”calendar”. the hijackers could not have wilfully timed the plane to hit at 8: 59 ,or ”9 -11” on the clock face. it was timed to the tee by ”natural time” ,13 moons months, 28 days. america is literally runing out of false vatican church ”time”……..the hijackers were timed by ”time” to hit perfectly.in other words,it’s too late for america,..yousemite fire and syria and fukishima , stock exchange power outages.hetch hetchy ,oh my. where will this go? think again about that , small clock hand on ”9”’……large clock hand at ”11”’. ”8:59” tower was hit. no coincidence .it was prfectly ti,med by natural time which your 12 month calendar is at odds with. also false 60 minute hour. natural time is not measured by mechanical clocks or anything. attack on trade enterc was timed perfectly by time you might say.
