As blacks and whites marched together they sang spirituals such as We Shall Over- come and Praise Him . Many who attended were enthusiastic. The main reason most attended the march was to remember what King did for the black race in the Unit- ed States. I think Martin Lu- ther King is the most impor- tant American in history because he stood for love, peace and humanity. All the other heroes have stood for war and death, 5aid Richard Franklin as reported in the Kentucky Kernel.

President Roselle welcomed the group, Councilman Mike Wilson read a proclamation from mayor Scotty Baesler naming the day Martin Luther King Ir. Day. Keith Griffith gave an emotional rendition of King's I Have a Dream speech By the time the program was over, it had stopped raining. The program and the holiday reminded many what was still left to be done. -Elizabeth C. Moore Martin L, King, Jr.
