The rain did not diminish the turnout at the Martin Luther King Day march through town, which ended with the annual post-march event at the Central Chapel AME Church, where over 250 people gathered to sing and share memories of the civil rights orator. AME Rev. John Freeman led marchers down Xenia Avenue (top), and a young girl dressed all in red followed with her parents (right.) At the church, Reese Elam joined congregants to clap and sing songs of unity and freedom.
