April 4th is the 37th anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Chicagoland Anarchist Network is calling for a candle-light march and rally on the West Side of Chicago to pay homage to the anti-war and anti-militarization work Dr. King did in the latter part of his life. We feel the West Side is historically significant because of the 1968 riots which followed the racist murder of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, and because miltary recruitment targets poor and working class People of Color, especially African American and Latino/Latina youth.

Bring signs, banners and candles for a respectful candle-light vigil and march.

-- Organized by the Chicagoland Anarchist Network.
