“I still have a dream… it is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.” – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. On #MLKDay, we honor Dr. King’s legacy and the powerful tributes throughout The Town that keep his dream alive. We also remember Tay McArthur and the Oakland Tech students known as The Apollos, whose activism helped make MLK Day a holiday in California before it was recognized nationwide. #KnowYourRoots
