COMPTON, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, April 10, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/
-- Los Angeles County Supervisor Kenneth Hahn, the only elected
official willing to meet Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on his 1961 visit
to Los Angeles. The two shook hands in what has become a famous
photograph, now memorialized in bronze thanks to the work of Bishop L.
J. Guillory, Ombudsman General to National Ombudsman / Ombudsman
International. Los Angeles Supervisor Hahn toured Rev. King through
Compton/Watts and eventually bringing them both to the Compton Airport
located at 901 West Alondra across the street from the home of the
Statue.
With recent exposés of racism within governments, have awakened to the
fact that civil and human rights are still vital issues Worldwide.
Accordingly, “When Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. visited Los Angeles my dad
Kenny Hahn was the only elected official who would agree to meet him at
the airport, that story has shaped my life to this day, more so than
any political lesson my father taught me. Dr. King changed the course of
history - I am proud to join Bishop L. J. Guillory on March 27, 2024 to
celebrate these two great men!”
Supervisor Janice Hahn, Chair of the Los Angeles Board of Supervisors “This day is about coming together to overcome bigotry and hate. It is about celebrating anti-racism. It is about doing what is right—whether popular or not,” said Bishop L. J. Guillory. “Both Dr. King and Hon. Hahn set an example that we all should follow every day of our lives. Both were Honorable Public Servants who selflessly served mankind, that service went across race, color, sex, and religious barriers. All of Mankind can Join Us Today from all demographics, as we Celebrate Two of Our Greatest American Leaders. And that’s why we have the statue today.”
Dr. King’s 1961 visit to Los Angeles came at a critical moment for the
civil rights movement. Two years earlier, in the summer of 1960, Dr.
King was among the civil rights leaders who organized an NAACP rally at
the Shrine Auditorium and led 6,000 protesters on a march to demand the
Democratic Party endorse a civil rights platform. That same year,
6-year-old Ruby Bridges, escorted by federal marshals, became the first
student to integrate William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans.
Dr. King’s visit was also within months of racial violence that shocked
America during the Freedom Rides of the summer of 1961—with Black and
white activists protesting segregation and facing the consequences.
But despite the growing momentum of the civil rights movement, which
reverberated throughout the world, only one local official in Los
Angeles had the courage to take a public stand in support of Dr. King.
That bravery has now been captured in bronze, forevermore.

THE MURDEROUS MOORE SISTER'S & PROFESSOR MOORE,
Why Would A Professor Defend Murderous Child Rapists?
TOM KINSOLVING writes:
The sister of one of the infamous cult's murderous enforcers include:
Annie Moore, sister of Becky Moore. Rebecca Moore, "Tha Professor" who I'm told runs the cult apologist organization "Jonestown Institute" with her hubby Fielding "Big Mac" McGehee, both of whom served as the front group to fund this memorial with cash from an "unknown source.") Annie, mass murderer.
"Big Mac" McGehee is her very prolific propaganda hubby, who puts out the annual "Jonestown Report." To his credit, he includes some of the unsavory aspects of the forced labor camp called Jonestown in his publication. The only problem is its resemblance with the formula used by supermarket tabloids, but on a much more serious scale. Nothing quite so effective as a potent mix of fact and fiction grossly distorting perspective on the actual big picture. Just gloss over, obfuscate or outright deny the reality of cult psychosocial dynamics so lethal to free will and, in some cases, life itself.
And Becky-Mac wants it that way, cause this enterprising fun couple crave that credibility enabling them to keep the New People's Temple cult followers happy and positive there really were some mighty good things that flowed from all the brainwashing, fraud, slave labor, torture, child abuse, and murder that were the hallmarks of the cult that died.

On October 22, 2022 officials, dignitaries and religious leaders united at the Compton Airport to commemorate a history-making moment in the civil rights movement: Los Angeles County Supervisor Kenneth Hahn, the only elected official willing to meet Martin Luther King, Jr. on his visit to Los Angeles, welcoming Rev. King at the Compton Airport in 1961. The two shook hands in what has become a famous photograph, now memorialized in bronze thanks to the work of Bishop L. J.

Today We Honor Willie Brown, Jr.
Sacramento — The League of California Cities Past Presidents Council today announced the selection of the Honorable Willie L. Brown, Jr. as the recipient of the 2021 Past Presidents’ Lifetime Achievement Award.
Widely regarded as the most influential African American politician of the late century, Brown has been at the center of California politics, government, and civic life for four decades. His successful tenure in public office includes serving two terms as mayor of San Francisco and 30 years in the California State Assembly, where he was the longest-serving Speaker in the state’s history. He also served on the board of trustees for the California State University system, as a regent for the University of California, and on the board of administration for CalPERS.
Brown’s career spans the American Presidency from Lyndon Johnson to George W. Bush, and he’s worked with every California governor, from Pat Brown to Arnold Schwarzenegger. From civil rights to education reform, tax policy, economic development, health care, international trade, domestic partnerships, and affirmative action, he’s left his imprimatur on every aspect of politics and public policy in the Golden State.
As the mayor of California’s most cosmopolitan city, he refurbished and rebuilt the nation’s busiest transit system, pioneered the use of bond measures to build affordable housing, created a model juvenile justice system, and paved the way for a second campus of the University of California, San Francisco, that would anchor and position the city as a center for the burgeoning field of biotechnology.
Today, he heads the Willie L. Brown, Jr. Institute on Politics and Public Service, where this acknowledged master of the art of politics shares his knowledge and skills with a new generation of California leaders.
“The Past Presidents chose the Honorable Willie Brown, Jr. from a list of distinguished Californians due to his many years of dedicated and extraordinarily effective public service,” Cal Cities Immediate Past President and Town of Yountville Mayor John F. Dunbar said. “This award recognizes the contributions of an outstanding Californian who has made significant and unique contributions to the state or to his or her community over an extended period of years and I cannot think of anyone more fitting for this recognition.”
The League Past Presidents’ Lifetime Achievement Award was established in 1996 and is given annually. Preference is given to nominees with close ties to cities; however, nominees may also be selected from the categories of local government leaders, academics/teachers, authors, media producers, community leaders, and state or national leaders.
Established in 1898, the League of California Cities is a nonprofit statewide association that advocates for cities with the state and federal governments and provides education and training services to elected and appointed city officials. Cal Cities’ mission is to expand and protect local control for cities through education and advocacy to enhance the quality of life for all Californians.
