‘I Have a Dream’ Festival
Music and camaraderie were on display at the “I Have a Dream” Festival near Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School. The event had a purpose: To promote creation of a public park on unused city property that sits at O and 18th streets behind the school and underneath the Martin Luther King Jr. Bridge. Left, the rollicking No BS! Brass Band leads a Unity Parade beneath the bridge to showcase the potential park area. Marchers included Mayor Levar M. Stoney, Richmond Public Schools Superintendent Jason Kamras, 6th District City Councilwoman Ellen F. Robertson, 7th District School Board member Cheryl Burke and state Sen. Rosalyn R. Dance.
