San Diego's Martin Luther King Jr. Parade returns after COVID-19 hiatus — and despite rain [Breaking]
Dance teams, marching bands and scores of other groups paraded in the rain in downtown San Diego Sunday to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
“I would want people to always remember what Martin Luther King did for all of us, and just to keep him alive through our actions,” Armenta said. A San Diego State University float had a portrait of King as its centerpiece, along with the phrase “Dreaming of Equality.” Several organizations that participated in the parade aim to honor King’s legacy through their work. Among them is Black Deported Veterans of America, a San Diego-based organization that was founded last year and supports veterans who face deportation or were recently deported. The group works with veterans from all over the world, including countries in Africa and the Caribbean. The organization advocates on their behalf, connects them with lawyers and supports them in other ways.
