MLK March Goes On Despite Frigid Temperatures

Cold weather doesn't diminish those from keeping the dream alive.

A small but spirited group from White Plains and the surrounding communities braved sub-freezing temperatures as they marched from the Slater Center to the statue of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in front of the Westchester County Courthouse Sunday afternoon.

After posing for photographs beneath the statue, the group marched two additional blocks in each direction singing "We Shall Overcome" before heading down the street that is named in honor of the man whose life's work they were celebrating.

The two dozen people of all ages then returned to the Slater Center to warm up and to listen to speeches about Dr. King.
