‘Outreach can be hard work’: MLK event dedicated to carrying his legacy forward

Don’Aysia Hankins said Dr. King’s legacy is what inspired her to attend an event in Tacoma.

TACOMA, Wash. — Tacoma’s celebration of the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at the Eastside Community Center had music and games. A station set up by Tacoma Boat Builders even taught kids how to make a land yacht.

But in the midst of all the fun, the main goal of the event was to carry Dr. King’s legacy forward.

Don’Aysia Hankins said Dr. King’s legacy is part of what inspired her to attend the event. She was also at the event to help her father cater it.

“Community outreach can be hard work,” she said.
