UNITY MARCH: About 350 people observed Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Sunday with a Unity March sponsored by the Second Baptist Church. Marchers, warmly bundled up for the crisp January temperatures, started at the Washtenaw County Court building, and in the top picture, were walking along Main Street, near Miller. The march continued along Miller, in the bottom picture, and ended at the church, at 850 Red Oak, in the picture at left. A memorial and rededication service was held at the church, with the theme of the service being "Toward Fulfilling the Dream."
