San Francisco’s Museum of the African Diaspora (MoAD) will host a celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. National Day of Service on Monday, January 18, 2021 from 12:00 Noon to 5:00 PM via its YouTube and Facebook channels.
MoAD’s Director of Public Programs, Elizabeth Gessel, said the online, live celebration will include storytelling, poetry readings and discussions on social justice. “Traditionally, the MLK Day of Service is our biggest day of the year at the museum,” said Gessel. “On this day, we’re open for free and have a full, family-friendly day of events. Approximately 2,500 people would come to the museum on MLK Day, which means the museum is filled to capacity with lines going out the door.”
