Vashon’s annual recognition of the life of Martin Luther King Jr. is slated for next week and will include several guests from the island who will speak about their experiences and ideas for creating the kind of world King envisioned more than 50 years ago.
The evening is sponsored and organized by Emma Amiad, as it has been for the last 25 years. Over the years, each of the celebrations has been different, and Amiad said she selected the program this year because of recent events and the current political climate that includes a rise in prejudice against refugees and racial minorities, many controversial police shootings and racist rhetoric from some presidential candidates.
King spoke broadly about xenophobia — the fear of the other — Amiad said, and how it is wrong to act inappropriately to those we deem different than ourselves.
“Our current situation is so extreme it is heart breaking,” she added.
This year’s speakers will include Janie Starr, writer, local activist and organizer; Margaret Heldring, psychologist and founder of Grandmothers Against Gun Violence; James Houser, youth counselor and peace activist; Elaine Ott, Vashon Park District executive director and Joe Okimoto, retired psychiatrist and survivor of the Japanese internment camp
