Peace walk, celebration
set Sunday in Cornelia
Sunday, Jan. 20, will mark the 22nd year in a row that citizens from
around Northeast Georgia have gathered to honor the memory of Martin
Luther King, Jr. with a walk for peace, community and justice.
This year’s walk will begin in downtown Cornelia at the Big Red
Apple, next to the historic depot, at 2 p.m.
After brief words of inspiration, the walkers will proceed to the Life
Center at Shady Grove Baptist Church, less than a mile away.
All are invited to participate, and groups are welcome to bring banners
and signs promoting peace and/or representing their organizations.
The pace will be comfortable enough for young children and elders
alike to participate with ease, according to organizers. Those who cannot
walk are welcome to go directly to the church and welcome the parade
of walkers, who will be singing all along the route. Shady Grove Church
is located at 226 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, Cornelia.
Once at the church, there will be a celebration in music and dance, with
performances by the Shady Grove Choir and dance ensemble. Joanne
Steele, a folksinger and long-time peace and environmental advocate
will also perform.
In addition, Lt. Colonel Alfonzo Jackson of the Atlanta chapter of the
Tuskegee Airmen will share his experiences of overcoming racial preju
dice in the mid-1900s and the value of tolerance and working together
to achieve a better world.
Jackson entered the service in 1955 and served in the Navy until he
retired from active service in 1973. He served aboard the USS Oriskany
CVA-34 with Carrier Air Group 16, and Carrier Air Group 15 on board
the USS Coral Sea CVA-43 as a member of the fighting force, serving
three tours in Vietnam. Jackson’s last tour of duty was as a transport pilot
for VR-30, carrying troops and supplies all over the world. He continues
to serve as a search and rescuer observer with the Air Force Auxiliary,
Civil Air Patrol.
The Tuskegee Airmen were unique and highly successful in their
military record and inspired revolutionary reform in the armed forces,
paving the way for integration of the armed services in the U.S. The
largely college-educated Tuskegee Airmen overcame the challenges of
prejudice and discrimination.
There will be a reception after the program. People are invited to bring
snacks or desserts to share.

or the Shady Grove Church office at 706-778-5045.
