W 012014 MLK PARADE 01 — Lawrence Webb, center, leads the Whitesville Full Gospel Church in song as they march down West Main Street during the annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Parade Monday in downtown Statesboro.

Marching or watching in bright sunshine, people taking part in Statesboro’s 2014 Martin Luther King Jr. Day Parade celebrated. But along the way — and afterward at the concluding program — they heard exhortations to service and shouts against complacency. As parade grand marshal, Dr. Francys Johnson walked the entire route.
