Martin Luther King, Jr. would've turned 95 on Monday.
To commemorate, a number of celebrations are planned around Milledgeville. The SCLC's annual march will form at Huley Park at 11 a.m. on Monday. The parade route will go through downtown Milledgeville and eventually to Flagg Chapel Baptist. Flagg Chapel's annual event begins at noon. This year's keynote speaker is Gerald Griggs, who is Georgia's NAACP president...
The scene returns to Huley Park at 1.
"There will be free food, music, a live DJ, free horse riding and an informal program, which will include the reading of Dr. King speeches, choirs, remarks from community leaders, a speaker, and a special presentation from the 100 Black Men of Milledgeville and Oconee," according to a press release.
Alan Whicker and Gloria Wicker will be honored, while the speaker will be Timothy Maddox.
Everything sounded so lovely until the end.
“We tried”
If that’s not disheartening idk what is. I feel the need to quote my mom here. “I can’t have nothin nice”. Wiser words were never said.
Oh! And for gods sake STAY HYDRATED if you want to save on hospital bills. I hate summer.
Member when the river was fun and didn’t get angry and take lives? You could float down hopefully by sunset with only burnt skin that was a problem for later you? Member when your biggest fear were all the scary gar lingering about?
Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 89 and low of 72 degrees. Don't forget your umbrella! Mist for the morning, light rain shower in the afternoon, patchy rain nearby in the evening, cloudy overnight.
loving that suit! That hippie has style and wears it well.
I member hearing about this. So incredibly sad. The lady I spoke with couldn’t have spoken higher of the man he was.
"unless someone wishes to make some sort of far-flung statement about their dissatisfaction with both major political parties" omg! YES PLEASE! There's no choices, and they will never allow an independent a fighting chance. Other countries have multiple candidates to choose from.
Any reason why the sheriff rarely makes a statements its alway another Deputy isn’t the sheriff, the elected official in our county?
