honors King
Saturday’s program honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. brought more than 100 people to the theater in Washington.
Sponsored by the Julia E. Boddie Scholarship Committee the program celebrating Dr. King’s birthday titled “His Truth Still Marches On,” featured preaching, praying and singing.
The Rev. Joseph Moore, pastor of the Nasareth Baptist Church in Orange, an employee of the King George County school system and a former teacher at Rappahannock County High School, was the featured speaker.
The Rev. Moore said, “We all have a mission. It’s necessary to keep the dream of Dr. King alive.” He said that discrimination and segregation may always be issues in America. “In the meantime let’s continue to stand in Christ,” he said.
Among the singers were the Ellebee Brothers of Culpeper and a group of Rappahannock children and teens calling themselves “The Young Americans.” The Young Americans also offered a pantomine called “Heal the World.”
A collection for the Julia E. Boddie Scholarship Fund raised more than $300. This fund is used to offer help to county high school graduates of all races to continue their education.
