Remembering Dr. King

For the past few years, since returning to Texas, I’ve covered the Martin Luther King Jr. national holiday observance in Georgetown for my friends at the Williamson County Sun.   Compared to my years working this holiday for the Atlanta Journal & Constitution, this one’s pretty small, but no less important.   One thing that organizers remarked on this year was the presence of Georgetown’s Mayor, Dale Ross, as an active participant, both in the march and attendance at the celebration service at Macedonia Baptist Church.  Normally, it’s my habit to not promote elected officials here, but it was nice to see Mayor Ross reaching out in the spirit of unity.   Thus, he’s on my site, too.  As well as Georgetown City Council member Rachael Jonrowe.   And let’s not forget police chief Wayne Nero.   Good for them all

.  Here are a few photos from this year’s observance.
