The nation’s capital marked Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday with a parade down the Southeast D.C. street named in his honor.
There was music, dancing and excitement along Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue Southeast.
“We wanted to pay homage to a person who sacrificed a lot to make sure that we bring togetherness to this country,” said Shayna Daniel-Holly. “We should pay tribute to him by not just staying at home and treating it like a normal day.”
Daniel-Holly’s 11-year-old son, Cliff Holly, was there with her: “Today is about Martin Luther King Jr. and how he helped the world,” he said.
