Celebrating MLK in Central Texas

The towns of Taylor and Georgetown both commemorated the birth and life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on Monday.   Taylor, a town of 15,000 where I live, had a low-key event that included a 20-minute march.   The first two photos in this post are from Taylor.   Georgetown, half an hour to the west and about three times Taylor’s size, had a bit larger event that also began with a march and concluded at Macedonia Baptist Church.   I covered both celebrations for the Williamson County Sun.    After so many years covering MLK events in Atlanta, Dr. King’s hometown, these are very scaled down events, but no less important.
