SUMMARY:42nd Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Convocation
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nThe Martin Luther King Jr. Convocation honors and celebrates Dr. King’s legacy while addressing the ongoing struggles for equity\, justice\, and freedom. This year’s keynote will feature Larry McDonald\, a legendary reggae percussionist whose life and career have been defined by rhythm\, culture\, and the power of music to unite people. \nMcDonald has been a musical collaborator with Taj Mahal\, Peter Tosh\, Gil Scott-Heron\, Lee “Scratch” Perry\, The Skatalites\, and many more. Rooted in the vibrant sounds of Jamaica\, he expanded his musical journey through time in Trinidad\, Mexico\, North Oakland\, and many other locations before ultimately settling in New York. With each step\, McDonald carries a profound respect for the Caribbean’s cultural heritage and a vision of music as a bridge across borders\, generations\, and struggles for justice. \nMcDonald will be joined by other New York City and Santa Cruz’s own musicians. \nREGISTER
