Tomorrow the birthday of civil rights leader Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. will be celebrated across the United States. Managing Editor Tami Roleff tells how the date will be marked in Twentynine Palms…
The celebrated civil rights leader, the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., is probably best known for his unforgettable speech at the foot of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C., in 1964. “I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up, live out the true meaning of its creed, that ‘ALL men are created equal.'” Commemorating Dr. King’s birthday, which is celebrated Monday, January 16, the Twentynine Palms Bible Baptist Church will hold its 12th annual march. The 1-mile march starts at 8 a.m. at Little Church of the Desert, 6079 Adobe Road and ends at Palms Southern Baptist Church, 5285 Adobe Road. Following the march will be a program with local speakers and Mayor John Cole, and then lunch. The public is invited to join in the march and attend the program.
