Unity and taking charge of change were part of the message at a community service Monday following Statesboro’s annual parade celebrating the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. People lined North and West Main Streets Monday afternoon as the parade made its way along those streets, turning onto Martin Luther King Jr. Drive before ending at Louetta Moore Park. The traditional marching bands and dignitaries in gleaming vehicles were joined by local church groups, child care centers and businesses, with people riding in decorated cars or waving from floats. Some floats and cars displayed King’s image and messages of peace and unity.
