Assemblymember Curren Price is grieved to hear that the eldest daughter
of Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., Yolanda King, passed away last week.
 "Yolanda King will always be
remembered as a strong advocate for positive social change, peace and
non-violence. She was known and loved for her inspirational contributions to
society, for raising awareness of the important issues that affect us on a daily
basis, and for being a living memory of the values and hopes of her parents. Ms
Yolanda King's untimely passing at such a relatively young age is a loss to us
all," said Assemblymember Price. |

PUBLISHER WILLIE BROWN HONORED
SACRAMENTO - Assemblymember Curren D. Price was pleased to honor local
resident, community activist, and publisher Willie Brown at the recent
California Small Business Day in Sacramento.
"Small Business is a crucial aspect of our California economy and I am very
proud to honor Mr. Willie Brown at California's Small Business Day," said Assemblymember Price.
"Willie Brown demonstrates the dedicated, entrepreneurial spirit that is
needed to accomplish the most lofty goals, both for himself and for his
community. I commend Willie Brown in his efforts as a journalist, a
community activist, and as a businessman."
 As
a community activist, Mr. Brown founded the Inglewood Business Opportunity
Network and has served as Chairman of the Civil Service Board of Review for
the City of Inglewood. Mr. Brown also has served on the Boards of numerous
organizations, including but certainly not limited to: the Inglewood
Neighborhood Housing Service, the Boys and Girls Club of Inglewood, and the
Inglewood Airport Chamber.
Mr. Brown is also active in the communications field: he publishes the
weekly newspapers Inglewood Today, L.A. Crenshaw Today, and "Today’s
Magazines." Finally, he serves as Vice President for the California Black
Media Association and is a Member for the West Coast Black Publishers
Association.
"Mr. Willie Brown is a fine example of a man who has combined dedication and
hard work toward goals that not only help his community but create a legacy
for the future," said Assemblymember Price, who has long been a strong
advocate for small businesses and especially for minority enterprises. |
