MLK parade set for Monday

The Martin Luther King Jr. parade will march through downtown Zebulon Monday, Jan. 17 at 11 a.m. ’We need to keep focusing on the philosophy that Dr. King taught and try to keep it alive,’ said organizer Patricia Beckham. ‘That was the reason we chose the theme ‘˜Was it Just a Dream?’ because we need to continue to work to make that dream a reality.’Immediately following the parade, a program will be held at Mt. Hope. MLK commemorative buttons will be sold for $3. For information on MLK Day events, call Regina Bridges at 678-588-4058, Patricia Beckham, 770-567-8930 or Marvin Hollis, 770-714-5334.
