Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 41st Annual Silent March

The 41st Annual Silent March honoring the national holiday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is one of the longest running celebrations in the state of Florida. In 1986, the Governor and Cabinet of the State of Florida met in St. Augustine to launch the state's recognition of the national holiday for Dr. King. The committee has continuously held programs on the third Monday of January since that time. On Monday, January 19th, please join us for the Silent March at 9:00 am, beginning at St. Benedict the Moor Catholic Church lot (86 MLK Ave)to the Plaza de la Constitucion with speaker Apostle Earl Glisson of Anchor Faith Church, St. Augustine, FL and performances by the Tri-county Gospel Chorale. All are welcome to join! The theme for the Silent March is "Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly," a direct quote from Dr. King's speech while receiving the Noble Peace Prize in Oslo, Norway in 1964. These events are sponsored by the Old Town Trolley Tours of St. Augustine. All net proceeds go towards scholarship for current high school graduates who are continuing their education as well as other activities in support of the mission of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration Committee Of St. Johns County, Inc.
