The bright sunshine only emphasized the excitement, joy and pride the crowd showed Monday afternoon as the Statesboro community enjoyed the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Parade. People of all ages and races lined the streets as church groups, dignitaries, high school bands and others marched the parade route, which stretched from East Olliff Street down North Main Street to West Main Street and then on to Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. Some rode scooters, bicycles and motorcycles, while others rode in classic cars or limousines.
