City, State & National Leaders Gather for MLK Day Celebration @ Vets
January 19, 2026
Puza introduced the members of the City Council who were present, Vice Mayor Bubba Fish, Council member Dan O’Brien, and Council member Yasmine Imani-McMorrin, and then introduced the next speaker, Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove.
Kamlager-Dove also spoke to King’s legacy, emphasizing that “civil rights without economic power is incomplete. He spoke about reconfiguring systems that deny full participation in democracy. I see this every single day, as we are fighting against monopolies and corporations, and for these very things.”
