Martin Luther King’s Dreams Do Come True
West Coast Party Jr. – Welcoming and Celebrating Diversity
By: Ruben Arquilevich, Executive Director
Over the past several days, over 200 6th through 8th graders from all over the Western U.S. and 75 young adult staff celebrated community, friendship, the joys of Jewish living and Jewish learning at our now annual West Coast Party Junior. It was a weekend full of camp reunions, making new friends, experiencing Shabbat, competing in sports, appreciating nature, having adventures, doing arts & crafts, and making music – all guided by an enduring theme of “Dreaming” in honor of Martin Luther King and his pivotal “I have a dream” speech. Campers decorated the banner you see at the top of this article with their dreams for the world, like “Stop Inequality,” “Love 4 All!” “World Peace” and “Equal Rights.”

For this week's cover story, Newsweek senior writer Kurt Eichenwald explores the bitter battle over Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy.
Squabbles among the adult children of a famous patriarch are common, but the rancorous disputes of the King siblings—most of them over lucrative licensing deals for their father's words and image—are rending family ties and friendships forged during some of the most harrowing battles of the civil rights movement.
Diego Patiño is responsible for the stunning MLK portrait accompanying the article. (You may recognize the Brooklyn, N.Y.-based artist's modig style from recent Newsweek articles on the $500,000,000 Cyber-Heist and Mission Creep.) We spoke to Patiño about sifting through MLK imagery, drawing from his own neurosis and the famous weirdos he most enjoys illustrating.
