April 4, 2011 was a National Day in Solidarity with Wisconsin workers, chosen specifically because it is the anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King's assassination in Memphis. Dr. King's last act was standing with striking sanitation workers. On April 4, two of the leaders of that strike, Rev. James Lawson and William Lucy, retired Secretary-Treasurer of the American Federation of State County and Municipal Workers (AFSCME) joined L.A. workers and supporters at First AME Church of Los Angeles for a rousing and inspirational rally. First AME Church Pastor John Hunter and SEIU-ULTCW President Laphonza Butler also spoke.

This special event at this historic church provided a performance by First AME Church's acclaimed gospel choir, 'the Brookinaires.'
