On Monday, Jan. 20, UC Davis School of Law hosted its sixth annual MLK Day of Service and Celebration, honoring the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.

Members of the UC Davis Black Law Students Association, in partnership with the law school's Office for Student Affairs and the Dean's Office, led efforts to celebrate MLK Day.

King Hall community members collected donations for Umoja International Academy in East Sacramento, and volunteered with projects on-site at various service locations, including the academy and Fourth & Hope in Woodland. A blood drive was held at King Hall.
