January 18, 2015 (San Diego) –Around the nation including here in San Diego a “4 Mile March” is set for Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday, March 19th to build a new civil rights movement. Locally the march will begin at 1 p.m. at the City Heights Weingart Library, 3775 Fairmont Ave., and will end at the Malcolm X Library, 400 Roosevelt Street.
“The goal of every 4 Mile March in every city is the same: to bring awareness to the national epidemic of racial profiling and police violence, and to honor all the lives lost as a result,” a flyer for the event states.
Then at 7 p.m. Monday, Activist San Diego will hold a “Build racial justice forum” at the Joyce Beers Community Center, 4065 Vermont Street. The forum seeks to honor the memory of Rev. King by building a movement to end police shootings, militarism and abuse of power.
