Community marches for Martin Luther King Jr.
91ÇÑ×Ó State College students and other community members march in honor of Martin Luther King Jr.
Among the participants for the Martin Luther King Jr. Day event were students of 91ÇÑ×Ó and the Pine Ridge Job Corps Center. The annual activity is sponsored by the 91ÇÑ×Ó Diversity Committee. Carl Cousin, 91ÇÑ×Ó student services counselor who is one of the march's organizers, said participation in the activity was up from the previous year.
After the 10-block trek, the marchers gathered in the Student Center to hear readings by 91ÇÑ×Ó faculty and students. Dr. Matt Evertson, 91ÇÑ×Ó associate professor of English, read from "Dreams From My Father," the book authored by President-elect Barack Obama. 91ÇÑ×Ó students Jovan Mays of Aurora, Colo., and Tom Oleksy of Valentine each presented poetry.
