Rededication On Friday, April 12th donors and supporters of the Martin Luther King statue renovation gathered to celebrate the restora - tion of the Martin Luther King statue in front of San Bernardino's City Hall. Erected in the 1970's the statue and its base were showing signs of wear and tear and neglect. A citizens committee, as diverse as the orig - inal committee that worked to fi - nance and commission the statue, financed the restoration with do - nations from many in the region. The committee goal is to make the statue the centerpiece for ed - ucational projects and to restore the city hall plaza. I am proud of the work of the committee led by civil rights activist Frances Grice and many others in the commu - nity who are willing to work to - gether to restore not only the statue but the city. It is one more symbol of hope for our town. Events The League of Women Voters is celebrating 93 years of service in the United States and 58 years in San Bernardino.
