Moses Lake marchers commemorate Martin Luther King Jr.

MOSES LAKE — An estimated 85 to 90 people came out on a sunny, breezy afternoon to commemorate the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. with a march and a rousing rendition of King’s “I Have a Dream” speech on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Monday.

Charlie Jones, a member of the organizing committee, said the idea for a march came from his friend Louis Logan.

“We definitely want to keep Dr. King’s legacy alive,” said Miranda Bridges, who’s also a member of the organizing committee.

“I just feel like, I don’t know, we should be out here,” said Teresa Bolden, who marched with her baby.

The marchers walked down Fifth Street and gathered behind Moses Lake City Hall, where the Rev. Plasido Lindsey recited King’s August 1963 speech, and Logan led the crowd in a rendition of “We Shall Overcome.”
