The Wakulla County Christian Coalition held its annual Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Service on the courthouse grounds on Monday, Jan. 16 to commemorate the life of the slain civil rights leader. About 40 people attended. The speaker was Joe Morgan, Wakulla County Supervisor of Elections, who noted a part of King’s legacy is the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Morgan also said King would support the motto of “Service Above Self,” saying; “When brothers and sisters are down, instead of looking down on them, give them a hand up.” In the photo, Pastor Samuel Hayes of Mount Olive Primtive Baptist Church #2 leads the crowd in a rendition of “This Little Light of Mine.”
