Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy reminds us of the power of courage, compassion, and collective action. His lifelong dedication to justice and equality continues to inspire meaningful dialogue, learning, and service. As we honor Dr. King, we reflect on how his vision challenges us to build a more just and inclusive world.

Black Maternal Health Care Exhibit
The Black Maternal Health Care Exhibit (BMHCE) highlights efforts to improve birth outcomes for Black women in Los Angeles County. It explores how structural racism contributes to the Black maternal health crisis and uplifts the work of community midwives and advocates leading change. In the U.S., Black mothers and infants face maternal mortality rates three to six times higher than other groups, despite most deaths being preventable. Through education, research, and community partnership, BMHCE works to transform maternity care and promote equity.
