Eighty-one years ago this Friday a man was born who would bring a revolution to
America’s civil rights movement. So important was the contribution of the Rev. Dr.
Martin Luther King to our nation that every third Monday of January America
commemorates his birth with a national holiday.
Here in Ridgecrest this year’s celebration will feature music, dancing and
inspirational remarks, with keynoter Evangelist Jacqueline Davis giving an address
entitled “Keep on Dreaming.”
The event will take place on Martin Luther King Day, Monday, Jan. 18, at 11 a.m. in
Victory Baptist Church, 242 W. Panamint St. The entire community is invited.
On the program, in addition to Davis, will be singer Irene Porter presenting a beloved
spiritual, a performance of Stevie Wonder’s “Happy Birthday and a modern-day
version of Dr. King’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech.
Also presenting remarks will be Chaplain Roger VanderWerken of the China Lake All
Faith Chapel, Dr. Barry Lee of the Living Word Church and Chuck Wood.

China Lake’s recent announcement that the Empire Challenge will not longer be hosted at the local facility has

The Empire Challenge is a large-scale operation involving the
U.S. military and its allies. The event simulates battlefield
