Through the services of these programs the SCLC of Greater Los Angeles promotes the philosophy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and continues the unfinished agenda for progressive change. The goal is to realize the dream of freedom, peace, justice, and equality for all by recognizing the inalienable dignity and worth of every human being. The SCLC of Greater Los Angeles’ mission and mandate remains to organize and mobilize the strength of America’s moral consciousness against the weakness of its social order.
