While Americans will never again abide the terror, hatred and indignities faced by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. when he and his comrades marched for civil rights in the 1960s, no one has control over Mother Nature, and on Monday, Jan. 16, she sent single digit temperatures to test the mettle of marchers in the Dr. Martin Luther King Day Parade in Glen Cove. But the cold temperatures and blustery winds did nothing to deter residents from marching in salute to their forebears from the First Baptist Church to the Wunsch Center, decorated with art created by Glen Cove students in Dr. King's honor, where others were gathered for the 22nd annual commemoration in honor of the slain civil rights leader.
