Living Jazz and SFJAZZ present Oakland’s largest civic and cultural event honoring Martin Luther King Jr., as it returns to the Paramount Theatre for its 20th anniversary.

In the Name of Love will honor the vision and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., through the music of Stevie Wonder. Wonder’s lifetime of music-making bore a soundtrack to radical societal change. His 1981 song "Happy Birthday" itself led to the proclamation of Martin Luther King Jr. Day as a national holiday in 1983.
