Martin Luther King, Jr. Parade

Activists Commemorate Civil Rights Hero by Marching for Justice

Several dozen folks came out to the annual King Day celebrations to march for a moratorium on executions.

Words from Dr. King:

"As you press on for justice, be sure to move with dignity and discipline, using only the weapon of love. Let no man pull you so low as to hate him. Always avoid violence…" --MLK, Jr., in “The Most Durable Power,” a sermon delivered on 6 November 1956.


“I do not think God approves the death penalty for any crime rape and murder included…Capital punishment is against the best judgment of modern criminology and, above all, against the highest expression of love in the nature of God.” -- MLK, Jr., 1957
