'Biggest march yet': Lafayette's MLK commemoration marks 10th anniversary
LAFAYETTE — Ten years ago, Lafayette first- and second-graders at Pioneer Elementary proposed a march for peace on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Monday, hundreds of community members marched through Old Town Lafayette on the event's 10th anniversary in a procession led by some of those same students.
The march ended with a celebration of the civil rights leader that included Â鶹ӰԺ's Second Baptist Church's Shekenah Glory Choir, poetry, dramatic readings from Motus Theater's "Do You Know Who I Am?," a marimba band, a capella singers, service projects, crafts and food.
