MLK Celebration 2020

On Monday, January 20th, 2020, Appamada and Buddhist Action Now joined the Austin community in celebrating the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It was inspiring to march together to honor this great man who did so much for our country. The day was beautiful and spirits were high. We marched together to the Huston-Tillotson University campus to continue the celebration with music and food. There were many booths, including ours, where organizations offered information and had a chance to interact with members of the Austin community. Lots of people dropped by our booth and seemed interested to know about us. Thanks to Sabrina for the 100 Jizōs we were able to hand out. They were a big hit with everyone, especially the children. We ended the day tired and a little sunburned but very happy to have been a part of this event.
