January 13, 2017 (San Diego) – Rev. Shane Harris with the National Action Network (NAN) aims to reclaim Dr. Martin Luther King’s dream here in San Diego, the eighth largest city in the U.S. , starting with a local MLK march on Monday. This week, in an exclusive interview with East County Magazine on KNSJ, Rev. Harris shared his concerns and visions for the future.
“What we’ve seen with the Democrats and Republicans nationally and statewide is they will run around touting Dr. King, but they don’t understand his dream and vision,” Rev. Harris explains. “Dr. King died for a poor people’s campaign. He was getting ready to lead a poor people’s march in Washington D.C. when he was killed.”
