"The Freedom Rights Movement is an historic event to bring about awareness".

Christopher Sprinkle: The Civil Rights Struggle is not over. Not for African Americans, nor for anyone else who is not white or for non English speaking workers. Inequalities, hardships and abuses are all to common. For Labor Day 2003 Chris presents the Yerba Buena Commemoration of the 40th Anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream" / Immigrant Workers Freedom Ride Launch to the Press. Speakers include SF Mayor Willie Brown, Farmworkers Dolores Huerte, ACLU Maya Harris, Freedom Rider Carol Ruth Silver among others.

1. Sept 17 6:00 to 8:00 pm at downtown San Rafael. Gather at Saint Rafael's Church.
