I believe in saying Happy New Year through the month of January. Joining me in the studio today is Tina Rogers. Tina is a historian, and she will be filling us in on what happened at the Birthday Celebration that happened yesterday. The good news is today actually Dr. Kings Birthday. The theme this year is King, The Radical! "We must learn to live together as community or perish together." Also joining me in the studio is Liala Parrish who is a senior at Rancho Cotati High School and President of the Black Student Union. I am so honored she will share her essay she wrote for the MLK celebration. The essay was inspired by the theme, King, The Radical! "We must learn to live together as community or perish together." Today is also a Federal Holiday, honoring Dr. King. I know lots of you are out there today shopping and lunching with friends which is ok and fun. But for many of us, to honor Dr. Kings Birthday an event sponsored by the Community Baptist Church in Santa Rosa, “Not A Day Off, A Day On.” Folks will gather to do community work in Dr. King’s Honor. Tina will give us info on that. It is happening right now. ----
