Details to join are at the end of this post.

The CSRA Peace Alliance, in cooperation with Art as an Agent for Change of Milledgeville, GA, has secured a spot as a group in the MLK parade this year. It is a wonderful opportunity to continue the peace advocacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Our contingent is walking.

Lineup begins at 11 AM, and the parade starts at 1 PM. There is an organizational meeting after which I should have more details.

The Parade will start at Dyess Park Community Center, located at 902 James Brown Blvd. The parade will proceed south on James Brown Blvd., then west onto Wrightsboro Road, north onto Augusta Ave., east onto Laney Walker Blvd., north onto 11th Street, and east onto D’Antignac Street.

More information about the parade is available at http://www.augustaga.gov/DocumentView.aspx?DID=2250.
