MLK March gets ready to march despite weather

The 20th Annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. March didn't miss a beat as a smaller crowd than usual turned out, despite the extreme cold weather and threats of rain, Monday, Janury 15th.

While the rain didn't appear during the 3-mile March, the high winds caused many marchers to wear extra clothing throughout the event and cut short what would otherwise be the festive event to honor the memory of the late civil Rights leader.
