Residents are invited to observe Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day today (Monday) in Brenham at a March for Unity. 

Brenham’s first MLK March is being hosted by the Washington County Juneteenth Association, and will start at 4 p.m. 

The march will travel from Hattie Mae Flowers Park, at the corner of Burleson Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway, to the Washington County Courthouse gazebo. 

Participants are encouraged to march by foot, but vehicles are welcome for those who are unable to walk.  They are asked to wear all black and bring posters, bullhorns and candles. 

A candlelight vigil will be held at the gazebo at 6 p.m., sponsored by the Brenham Activist Association. The guest speaker will be Reverend Fred Marshall, pastor of the Independent Missionary Baptist Church in Brenham.
