Remembering Dr. King

Today at the Captiol, lawmakers took time to honor and remember the great works and accomplishments of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a hero of the civil rights movement in this country and a fighter for justice and equality for all oppressed people.

Former Cabell County Delegate Arley Johnson reenacted Dr. King’s pivotal “I Have a Dream” speech on the floor of the House of Delegates, which has become a yearly tradition when members are in session. There were a myriad of events scheduled including a bell ringing ceremony following a remembrance march featuring local school children outside the Capitol to honor Dr. King.
