About the Celebration
The first YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Brotherhood Breakfast was held in 1971 to honor King’s life, his legacy of peace, and to reaffirm our commitment to realizing his vision of a just and inclusive world for all. Since then, our commitment to creating a world devoid of poverty, racism and all forms of discrimination has never wavered. Now in its 54th year, the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Brotherhood Breakfast has taken on special meaning within the LA YMCA and the Greater Los Angeles community. It is unique in its ability to inspire and to heal everyone in attendance. It also empowers attendees to take the ideals King stood for and put them into practice in their community.
Two prestigious awards are presented during the breakfast: the YMCA Brotherhood and Human Dignity Awards. The recipients are community leaders who exemplify Dr. King’s core values and promote social responsibility.
