Councilman Dee Andrews
The Sixth District Councilman Dee Andrews and the Peace Week Committee are pleased to announce the Long Beach 2012 Martin Luther King, Jr. Peace Maker Awardees.
Five award recipients will be honored at 5:00 pm, on January 10th, at the Long Beach City Council meeting, 333 West Ocean Blvd, as part of Peace Week —a week-long celebration leading up to the City of Long Beach’s 24th Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Peace & Unity Parade Celebration, on January 14th. The candidates have been selected for their history of volunteering, community work, or support in areas of peace making, nonviolence, and community support/building. “The Peace Maker Award acknowledges the spirit in which Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. demonstrated compassionate, non-violent strategies toward peace and community building, which are ideas we value in the City of Long Beach”, said Councilman Andrews. This year honorees include King Chan, Jessica Quintana, Darryl Smith, Food Bank of Southern California, and Ralphs Food 4 Less.
