“It’s a way honoring the memory of Dr. King,” Platt said. “It brings back to remembrance what the struggle was, helps us to look back in the past, and helps us to forge the future.”
Congresswoman Terri Sewell will serve as the guest speaker for the ceremony, which cost $15 to attend. She will discuss Dr. King’s mission and how far our community over the years, Platt said.
“It helps the youth of Selma and Dallas County to know where we’re going and where we have been,” Platt said. “It helps us to understand the progress that we’ve made and hopefully the progress that we will continue to make. “
