History eve

I shot a march that was held in honor of Martin Luther King jr. this morning through downtown Bowling Green. I was getting nervous because it was schedualed to start at 10. I got there around 9:20 and nobody was there. 9:30 and nobody 9:40 and four people show up, finally around ten till about 100 people show up and the temperature drops about 15 degrees. Lovely.

First off... Proof there was snow in Kentucky this morning. A whole 1/4 inch or so.
The march started at the justice center and then walked maybe half a mile to State Street Baptist church where a sign reads, "First colored baptist church." They had a pretty cool presentation/ceremony/program, I'm not sure what to call it, but the keynote speaker mixed parts of the "I have a dream" speech and the story about Joseph and his coat. Interesting, and man could he preach.
