(Long Beach) -- The City of Long Beach will br holfing the 22nd Annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Peace & Unity Parade Celebration that will take place tomorrow Saturday, January 16, 2010 beginning at 10:30 a.m..

This year's theme is "Strength To Love". The theme was taken for Dr. King's (1963) book that is published under the same name.

“I chose this theme to bring attention to the contents and teachings that this publication expresses. Dr. King’s book calls for a return to love. Its teachings focus on loving your enemies and it invites the reader to dive into a wellspring of information that can assist you to become a greater person for all. Simply said, "Its a pathway to peace", said Long Beach Councilman Dee Andrews who'es represents the 6th District.

The parade will begin at 10:30 a.m. on Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue intersecting Anaheim Street, and is followed by a multi-cultural celebration at King Park located at 1950 Lemon Avenue.

The celebration in honor of Dr. King will be filled with music and dance performances; a children and teen area filled with free games and give-a-ways.

There will be lots of food, general merchandize vending booths, and community services information.

A Health Pavilion will have a number of free health test and medical care information for all ages.

Last year, the celebration attracted over 20,000 people participating in the parade and visiting the park. This year, the week long celebration will attract cultures from all over Long Beach to continue the legacy and teachings of a great leader, Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Meet Randy Economy

You may know me from my role as the Senior Advisor and Official Media Spokesman for the Recall Gavin Newsom campaign that established a worldwide blitz of interviews. I conducted more than 2,200 media interviews on behalf of “The People’s Recall” during a 10-month period from November 2020 to September 2021. The iconic magazine Mother Jones in a dramatic feature article called me “A ‘Superhero Pirate’ Radio Host, (and) Gavin Newsom’s Strangest—and Most Dangerous—Threat. Meet Randy Economy, the man behind the effort to recall California’s governor.” I appeared on more than 330 media outlets around the world in my capacity with RecallGavin2020. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, NBC Nightly News, ABC News, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Politico, and dozens of other media outlets aired featured reports on my work on behalf of “The People’s Recall.” I am and will always consider myself to be a journalist. Sometimes I think I bleed ink. My talents as an Investigative Journalists in California earned me FIVE top awards from the prestigious Los Angeles Press Club in 2013, 2014, and 2016. I am tenacious. My reporting over the years has led to the prosecution of several elected officials in California. While working for a tiny community newspaper in Southeast Los Angeles County, I worked doggedly to expose the biggest public corruption case in Los Angeles County history when I unearthed a massive pay to play scheme inside the Assessor’s Office that led to the arrest of then Assessor John R. Noguez and four others. However, politics has been in my DNA since I was a child. I have worked on more than 300 political campaigns as a consultant and advisor since 1982 for candidates from all sides of the political spectrum including Democrats and Republicans, and even Libertarians. I am also a small business owner, serving as the President and CEO of Hot Water Studio & Production, LLC. My company works with media outlets across the state, nation, and world exposing public corruption via several new media platforms. I have also overcome personal challenges. I am legally blind with zero vision in my right eye and only 40 percent vision remaining in my left eye. I sometimes wear an eyepatch due to my failed vision. (Hence the nickname of “America’s Political Pirate.”
