Martin Luther King Jr. was born on January 15, 1929, in Atlanta, Georgia. King, both a Baptist minister and civil-rights activist, had a seismic impact on race relations in the United States, beginning in the mid-1950s. Among many efforts, King headed the SCLC. Through his activism, he played a pivotal role in ending the legal segregation of African-American citizens in the South and other areas of the nation, as well as the creation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. King received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964, among several other honors. King was assassinated in April 1968, and continues to be remembered as one of the most lauded African-American leaders in history.

Mamas, this purposeful weekend in San Diego is a chance for you to laugh, listen, and share with your daughters and get away from things that normally distract both of you; and daughters, this is a chance for you to see your mother not only as ‘Mama’, but as a woman that shares the same experiences and desires as you to enjoy life, to have fun, and to be loved.
