Lawmakers, civic leaders, social activists, members of the West Virginia’s Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday Commission and others took part in the Annual Bell-Ringing Ceremony honoring the legacy and life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, on this his birthday and national holiday.
Following a march from the Asbury United Methodist Church the replica Liberty Bell, which is located on the North Side of the Capitol Building, was rung by visiting school children along with the Governor and others.
It’s the mission of the Martin Luther King, Jr. West Virginia Holiday Commission to provide programs celebrating the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The programs reflect the principles and philosophies of nonviolent direct actions to achieve the goals of peace, freedom and equality for all people of which Dr King represented, preached and lived.
