Dr. Martin Luther King"
LOS ANGELES - Californer -- On Monday, January 15th, 2024, one of the most notable celebrations of Dr. Martin Luther King's Birthday and his unique life contributions to America and the world will be celebrated again in the heart of South Central Los Angeles on his birthday. This year will constitute the 39th Annual Kingdom Day Parade (aka MLK or King Day Parade). The Theme for January 15, 2024, has been aptly titled "Can't Stop, Won't Stop, Going To The Promised Land". The parade will be televised live on ABC from 11:00 am-1 pm.
For the past thirty-eight years, the Kingdom Day Parade has been broadcast live on television and has grown from its original small neighborhood event into its current iconic mass celebration with over 200,000 on-site attendees and a viewing audience of over 2.4 million for the past thirteen years on Disney/ABC 7.
The Kingdom Day Parade has also showcased a distinguished array of Grand Marshals from 1985 to the present. It began with the first Grand Marshal Stevie Wonder and over the years an outstanding list including Little Richard, The Young Jackson Five, former Governors, Mayors, other High Ranking Officials, and Celebrities including Dave Roberts, General Manager/The LA Dodgers, Vice President Kamala Harris and most recently our own Mayor Karen Bass.

About the Kingdom Day Parade:
The Kingdom Day Parade celebrating the life achievements and future destiny of Dr. Martin Luther King, on his birthday is so much more than just another parade. It celebrates and centers around the only National Holiday whose central purpose is to celebrate equality and justice for all people and to fight for it using the most powerful of all weapons: Love, Peace, and aggressive Non-Violence, to overcome, in this potentially most egalitarian Democracy in the history of the world.
