The name Martin Luther King Jr. is synonymous with racial equality, nonviolent protest and the African-American civil rights movement. His courage and determination will always inspire and his legacy will never be forgotten.
On Monday, Baytonians will honor his life with a parade through the city. Citizens will hold signs and posters that commemorate the legacy of King as they march to Town Square.
