LIMA, Ohio (WLIO) - More than a dozen people in Lima did not let the brutal cold stop them from honoring the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Lima 6th Ward Councilman Derry Glenn held his 17th annual “I Have a Dream Peace March.” Walkers, along with those following behind in their vehicles, bundled up and marched from the corner of Holmes and Reese avenues to Martin Luther King Park. Glenn said he wants people to realize that Dr. King marched in all types of weather, and he was not going to let Mother Nature stop him from remembering the civil rights activist.
"He [Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.] didn't care what the weather was. He fought for us. He fought for our civil rights. He fought for our freedom. He fought for us to get jobs when we couldn't get jobs. Every day, we should be thinking positive things about what he stands for. We should try to walk our life with that every day, care for one another- like I love you and you. I care about you," says Derry Glenn, Lima 6th Ward Councilman.
Glenn said he was inspired by a college professor at Central State University to honor Dr. King’s impact, which guided him to begin the annual peace march.
