Gallery: Martin Luther King march returns to Abilene

January 19, 2022 by Mariah Williams Leave a Comment

Community members from across Abilene came together Monday to march and join the country in celebration of the life of Martin Luther King Jr. In a short opening ceremony, participants honored the life of Heloise Munson, who organized the march for many years, before walking across the Martin Luther King Bridge in remembrance of his legacy.
