Walk. Hike. March. through History — Crossing the St. John’s Bridge

In celebration of Black History Month, Love is King in partnership with Forest Park Conservancy is hosting an act of solidarity, encouraging everyone in the Forest Park community to come out and join us as we walk, hike, and march across the St. John’s Bridge to honor the spirit, work, and words of Martin Luther King Jr. in a Selma Bridge Reenactment!

We’ll begin promptly at 9:00am with a short presentation on the civil rights movement, Bloody Sunday, and the march of Martin Luther King Jr. from Selma to Montgomery, crossing the Edmund Pettus Bridge.

We’ll come together in peace and unity to advocate and serve all communities, and we’ll hear from community leaders, including Pastor Edward Williams, Mic Crenshaw, Chad Brown, Renee Myers, and Jo Ann Hardesty. We will be joined by the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church Gospel Ensemble.

Join us Saturday, February 26th at 9:00am at Cathedral City Park, and let’s build a stronger community together for everyone!
