The 2012 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Symbolic March and Rally held Monday morning attracted marchers of various ages and ethnicity to commemorate King’s work in civil rights and equality.
The unveiling of a Coretta Scott King memorial pillar at Potter Park preceded the parade. The pillar was placed beside an existing MLK memorial plaque.
