The Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Choir San Diego, Inc. (MLKCCSD) is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The purpose of the choir is to promote the artistic growth of children and youth in the metropolitan San Diego region; to serve as a cultural ambassador in regional, national and international concerts and seminars; to promote arts education through performances primarily of traditional and contemporary spirituals and gospel music and provide the historical context for this repertoire. Our music, which is inspirational and uplifting, celebrates the history of the Negro Spiritual.
Since 1997, MLKCCSD has been performing gospel concerts to raise funds for educational grants to give to San Diego County high school seniors pursuing a college degree in the Visual or Performing Arts.

T.J. Zane—Setting Boundaries: Social Media, Public Officials, and First Amendment Rights in the Digital Age
2024-01-25 12:00 - 13:30 | Liberty Station Conference Center, 2600 Laning Road, San Diego, CA, 92106, United States
Hon. T.J. Zane is one of two Petitioners in O’Connor-Ratcliff v. Garnier, a case which was argued before the Supreme Court of the United States on October 31, 2023. The case concerns the First Amendment and public officials’ use of social media. Zane and his colleague petitioned the Supreme Court and presented the following question: “Whether a public official engages in state action subject to the First Amendment by blocking an individual from the official’s personal social-media account, when the official uses the account to feature their job and communicate about job-related matters with the public, but does not do so pursuant to any governmental authority or duty.”

With special Guest Speaker Maya Madsen:
My name is Maya Madsen and I am the founder and CEO of Maya’s Cookies, America’s #1 Black-owned gourmet, vegan cookie company. I started the business in 2015, after spending 20 years in the fitness industry as a model and spin instructor. As a longtime vegan, I struggled to find a gourmet, decadent vegan cookie that satisfied my sweet tooth so I started baking them myself!

San Diego Unified School Board President
“Improving Student Outcomes in San Diego Unified School District”
The San Diego Unified School Board recognizes that its current governance and accountability practices are not yielding the results we seek for our students, many of whom remain far from educational justice. Our goal is to create the conditions for student improvement in both academic and social emotional outcomes as we know both are critically important to long term success. The school board is conducting community listening sessions to clarify our community’s priorities and will use the feedback we hear from groups like Rotary to shape our 5-year goals. By focusing resources on achieving specific student outcomes, and using data to monitor progress against them, we know we can build a school system where all students reach their potential.
