| BART Offers ‘Freedom Passes’ on Martin Luther King Jr. Day |
|
In conjunction with its efforts to transport riders to events Jan. 16 commemorating the life and achievements of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) in Oakland, CA, made available 5,000 special commemorative flash passes to the event’s organizing committee for free distribution to groups or individuals who made advance reservations.
According to BART, the event at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, “Renewing the Dream,” was the largest commemoration of King in northern California.
BART also co-sponsored the 10th Annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Musical Tribute, Jan. 15 at the Oakland Paramount, and hosted its own 25th annual celebration of King’s life on Jan. 18, with former San Francisco Mayor Willie L. Brown Jr. and BART Board Member Lynette Sweet among the speakers.
