The Four Kings is a collaborative community event hosted by Manos
Unidas and the Roots and Dreams Coop and other dedicated
collaborators, to shake off the winter blues!


In the Latino culture, Three Kings Day is a very important event
to celebrate the coming of the Three Kings to the Christ child,
falling on January 6th, which includes re-enactment and gifts for
children. Additionally, the “ I Have a Dream” Four Kings event
will promote the values of love and equity of the “King of Social
Justice”, Martin Luther King.


Connect with a diverse array of community members in this second
annual “I Have a Dream” Four Kings Day tradition in the spirit of
community generosity and love.


The event is free to all peoples, but there is a suggested
donation of $10 per plate of food, and a suggested donation of
$20 for the food and event per family, to raise money for the
Hopeseed Empowerment Cooperative of Manos Unidas, which is
helping build a multiclass, multicultural movement that assists
in building cooperative business visions, as well as raising the
capacity of our community to the next level of greatness.
