Hundreds marched the streets of San Marcos during the Dunbar Heritage Association’s annual Martin Luther King Jr. Walk and Celebration.
Monday’s events began with a wreath laying ceremony at the LBJ-MLK Crossroads Memorial followed by the freedom walk, a ceremony at the Hays County Historic Courthouse and a reception at the Dunbar Recreation Center.
“Your presence creates an opportunity for us to come together as a community in solidarity, appreciation and reflection on how we are keeping Dr. King’s idea alive to make the promises of democracy real,” said Shannon Marshall, a member of the Dunbar Heritage Association. “The social bridges we build within our community today and throughout the year help strengthen empathy, respect, peace and unity while we embrace and celebrate a diverse and pluralistic society.”
