In addition to the Neighborhood Festival and Parade Celebration which took place on Saturday, January 25th, 2025, the George L. Stevens Senior Community Center, held its own celebration entitled “The Dream Lives On”.
In addition to enjoying a tasty bowl of Gumbo (seafood, chicken, or sausage), there was a local guest appearance by the California Secretary of State, Dr. Shirley N. Weber, California State Senator Akilah Weber, and Assemblymember Dr. LaShae Sharp-Collins, all present to celebrate with the community from whence they come.
Mr. John Philips provided the music as a number of local dignitaries honored neighborhood heroes like Dr. Leonard J. Thompson, III of Mandate Records, who was also the coordinator of all sound for both events.
As usual, Mrs. Rosemary Pope, Executive Director of the Senior Center, was the lady who held it all together and made the day a success.
