Juneteenth Committee Announces 2023 MLK Program

Everyone is invited to join the MLK walk for freedom and unity on Saturday, January 14, 2023, signifying our understanding and respect for everyone and celebrate the legacy Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Johnathan Ellis, President of the Juneteenth Committee sponsoring the event, explained that we can all use love during this trying time. “Without acceptance and understanding of all our residents, we become divided. As Dr. King said, ‘Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that’. Join us as we show our support for driving out hate and unifying our community.”

The 0.8-mile walk starts at the Fayette County Courthouse (151 N Washington St, La Grange, TX).

Participants will begin to gather at 11 a.m. and the walk will begin at noon. A short program will be held at the Library Gazebo (855 S Jefferson St.) Refreshments will be served at the N.W. Faison House, across the street from the library (822 S. Jefferson).

Transportation back to the courthouse will be provided.
