Beyond The Dream Unity Rally to Be Held in Annapolis

The Maryland Legislative Black Caucus will host a unity rally in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. on Jan. 16.

ANNAPOLIS, MD — The members of the Legislative Black Caucus of Maryland will host the “Beyond The Dream” Unity Rally in Lawyers Mall in Annapolis Monday, January 16, 2017, from 6:30 to 7 p.m. promptly followed by the annual wreath-laying ceremony with special guest Lt. Gov. Boyd Rutherford.

In honor of Martin Luther King, the Black Caucus says it is hosting this rally "to bring our people together for a greater purpose. Dr. King has proven that when we come together and multiply our strength, we can ensure a brighter future for the next generation. Again as before, our children need us to come together and fight for their ability to reach the American dream. We must ensure their access to opportunities, a good education, and safe streets."

Organizers say, "This rally is a call to action; our fight for equal access to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is not over. The members of the LBCM rolled out an aggressive priority agenda for the 2017 Legislative Session and with the support of the people, we can make it all happen."
