MLK Jr. Memorial Parade January 18
Please mark your calendar and join other KIN folks as we march in the
Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Parade on Monday, January 18. We will
line up for the parade behind the KIN banner at 9:15 at Tabernacle
Missionary Baptist Church, 2137 Martin Luther Kings Jr. Ave.
This is an opportunity to walk with others who share Dr. King's vision
of the brotherhood of mankind and his goals of peace, justice, and
equality. We are proud that the goals of the Knoxville Interfaith
Network are consistent with Dr. King's vision and goals.
