On Monday, January 16, 2005, Hiraeth called into the Indynewswire show on Free Radio Santa Cruz 101fm with an update from the Martin Luther King Jr. march and rally in Sacramento. The turnout at the rally and march was three times as large as past years. (8:27 minutes)

Unfortunately, the military is still hard at work to smear the legacy of MLK Jr. Hummers led the parade with an image of MLK Jr. on the front of the Hummer. The military was also a participant in the march and had a table for recruitment. CodePink Women for Peace and others took part in counter-recruitment activities.
