On a picture-perfect day, AFM Local 47 leaders joined thousands of Angelenos on Jan. 19 for the annual MLK Jr. Kingdom Day Parade as they marched down MLK Blvd. in downtown Los Angeles. The LA County Federation of Labor, which represents 800,000 union members in the region, including AFM 47, was one of the official sponsors of the parade, along with Bakewell Media, the LA Sentinel, SoCalGas, Blue Shield of CA, and the Brotherhood Crusade. The parade featured marching bands, dancers and more than 150 colorful floats designed for the event to celebrate the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. The parade traveled from MLK Jr. Blvd to Leimert Park, where the MLK Freedom Festival continued into the afternoon.

Thank you to all who participated.
