The Midway Ministerial Association invites the entire
community to remember the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at the
annual memorial service at 7 p.m. Monday, Jan. 18, at Pilgrim Baptist Church.
For more than 10 years, this service has brought together
members of the community from varied ethnic backgrounds to celebrate the impact
of Dr. King and the civil rights movement.
The history of race relations in Midway is generally
positive, said one community member at the MLK Day service in 2014, even though
schools were segregated for nearly a century.
The services involve members of the community and seeks to
educate them on the lives of African Americans during that time, said an
attendant at the 2014 service.
In keeping with the annual tradition, the service will
include performances honoring Dr. King and a word of meditation from
participants in the church community.
