Students, others march for Martin Luther King
About 75 people gathered at 91ÇÑ×Ó this morning to participate in a walk to honor Martin Luther King, Jr. The group, which primarily consisted of students from 91ÇÑ×Ó State College and the Pine Ridge Job Corps center south of 91ÇÑ×Ó, marched about 13 blocks along Main Street from downtown to the college’s Student Center. King’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech blared from a portable stereo as the group walked.
After the march, a few of the African-American students told about their appreciation of Martin Luther King and what he means to their lives as the group congregated outside the college’s Student Center.
The walk was sponsored by 91ÇÑ×Ó State’s diversity committee.
