Martin Luther King Jr. Freedom Center Holds Life and Legacy Academy
Participants study and practice the principles of self-transformation embodied by Dr. King’s nonviolence as a way of life. We study and practice getting out of our comfort zone, changing ourselves, and developing the capacity to organize, inspire and motivate others for the difficult tasks of social and political change making.

This week, the Martin Luther King Jr. Freedom Center’s Life and Legacy Academy is being held in Aptos, California, at the Monte Toyon Camp and Conference Center. Sixty young people and adults are involved in an intensive week-long study of the contributions of Dr. King and their relationship to how we live our lives today.
The focus of the week is on self-transformation and the responsibilities we each have for the important work ahead in 2022. Dr. King Life and Legacy Academy is one of the Freedom Center’s leadership bootcamps.
Participants study and practice the principles of self-transformation embodied by Dr. King’s nonviolence as a way of life. We study and practice getting out of our comfort zone, changing ourselves, and developing the capacity to organize, inspire and motivate others for the difficult tasks of social and political change making.
For those who can contribute $100 or more, the Freedom Center would like to send a thank you gift of a copy of our recent publication “From a Kitchen in the World House.”
In addition to sharing cultural and heritage recipes of students and their families, the book features beautiful photos and writings of the democracy-saving work of young people.
In case that you have not seen the documentary video, “Changing Ourselves Through Being a Part of the Solution,” you may check it out online: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DP4gHDT13AE
