Serving Civic Pride Since 1997

MLK Commemoration


The 29th Annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemoration on Saturday, February 25, will feature community leader and activist Michael Baldwin.

Michael Baldwin is a member of Faith in the Valley’s Board of Directors and resides in Stanislaus County. In 2018, after serving 26 years of a double-life sentence, Michael settled in Modesto to use his life experience to bring healing and understanding to the traumatized and the marginalized, to bring equity to the community, to redefine justice, and to mend broken relationships. He soon started MBS Consultants, founded the nonprofit Legacy Alliance Outreach, and became community advocate, educator, and paralegal. Mr. Baldwin was a co-leader of Modesto’s Forward Together Working Group on police oversight whose recommendations were recently adopted by the Modesto City Council.

4:00 p.m., students are invited to meet with Michael Baldwin in the Modesto Junior College Little Theater.

Presented by the Modesto Peace/Life Center; Modesto Junior College; California State University, Stanislaus; Modesto Teachers Assoc.; Turlock Teachers Assoc., California Teachers Assoc.; NAACP.
