MLK March Kicks Off Greening of Wellfleet

I missed the Martin Luther King march this year, since I am up in Boston. Sounds like it was a marvelous community event. Harriet Jerusha Korim reports her impressions at Cape Cool. The marchers left Town Hall and arrived at the Wellfleet library for a potluck lunch. Over 100 people were in attendance. Cape Cool showed the famous Martin Luther King clip, in which Dr. King spoke about his dreams for America. Then those present were treated to a short speech by our new MA State Senator. Dan Wolf said it's up to us to hold him (and others in office) to making those dreams come true. The MLK march kicked off the greening of our town. Did you attend? Care to share your impressions?

Would have liked to have been there ! It's interesting to see, as the years go by, what types of events and causes get wrapped up together with MLK Jr day - nationwide I've seen some very disparate issues (many highly partisan and politicized) that depart widely from his memory or the struggle toward civil rights for minorities. Today most young folk don't even realize that Dr. King was a registered Republican ... let us appreciate the shared accomplishments of our civil rights pioneers - that alone is cause for celebration - no need to "rebrand" MLK Jr day into a day of advocacy for some new cause du jour - let's pay it forward the other 364 days !

It was a lot of fun! It was pretty crowded, so it was nice to see so many people in attendance. :)
