Another look at the MLK Day March stretching all the way down Gurley St. this morning 😳😳

It’s MLK Day again. A lot has happened in a year. A lot is happening right now, especially if you’re in Minnesota. Here in Prescott, I was a bit nervous to see if there’d be a dip in the attendance or spirit from the prior year. I got to the Prescott College Welcome Center parking lot a little early and didn’t see a lot of people. Within 20 minutes though, the place was packed. Manuel Lucero spoke and smudged the crowd with sage. The Bucket List popped out an Afro-Brazilian warm up of beats to set the pace of the march. The crowd started their way down Grove towards Gurley. Prescott PD were polite and organized, and while it was cold enough to dawn winter gear, the sun chased that chill away in no time. The march proceeded down Gurley and around Courthouse Square, and after a brief pause to pull everyone together, the march wound its way back up to the Prescott United Methodist Church for a celebration of the day complete with hot chocolate, music, speeches and any attempt to exercise the act of connection between people. It was worth it to go, if for any other reason than we as citizens still have the right to hold events like these without fear of retribution or persecution. Unlike years before and all the variety of other marches and protests, there’s a nagging feeling that these events might become harder to sanction in the near future, at least not without having to kiss a ring or two. Still, events like today, and past recent protests and marches, fill one with hope that the binary narrative so many unwilling-to-think people have been suckered into is not nearly as pronounced as it might seem in outrage media. Let’s hope it stays that way and grows. Looking forward to next year

It’s MLK Day again. A lot has happened in a year. A lot is happening right now, especially if you’re in Minnesota. Here in Prescott, I was a bit nervous to see if there’d be a dip in the attendance or spirit from the prior year. I got to the Prescott College Welcome Center parking lot a little early and didn’t see a lot of people. Within 20 minutes though, the place was packed. Manuel Lucero spoke and smudged the crowd with sage. The Bucket List popped out an Afro-Brazilian warm up of beats to set the pace of the march. The crowd started their way down Grove towards Gurley. Prescott PD were polite and organized, and while it was cold enough to dawn winter gear, the sun chased that chill away in no time. The march proceeded down Gurley and around Courthouse Square, and after a brief pause to pull everyone together, the march wound its way back up to the Prescott United Methodist Church for a celebration of the day complete with hot chocolate, music, speeches and any attempt to exercise the act of connection between people. It was worth it to go, if for any other reason than we as citizens still have the right to hold events like these without fear of retribution or persecution. Unlike years before and all the variety of other marches and protests, there’s a nagging feeling that these events might become harder to sanction in the near future, at least not without having to kiss a ring or two. Still, events like today, and past recent protests and marches, fill one with hope that the binary narrative so many unwilling-to-think people have been suckered into is not nearly as pronounced as it might seem in outrage media. Let’s hope it stays that way and grows. Looking forward to next year.

A vertical photograph of a walk way on Courthouse Square in Prescott, Arizona. The pavement is covered in slush leftover from a fresh snowfall. The focus is on the slush in the foreground. The background is a blurry mix of trees.

A close up photograph of a horseback pioneer statue with barren tree branches in the background. Snow sticks to the statue and the pose of the statue looks as if the pioneer and horse are struggling against the bad weather.

A snow plow pushes through a wet, slushy intersection in Downtown prescott. The photograph was shot with long exposure and the camera panned at the speed of the truck, so the truck is frozen, but everything around it is blurry.

A couple of people stumble down the slush soaked Whiskey Row Alley in the late afternoon. An arch in the foreground with the name of the ally frames the rest of the image.

We gotta a little #snow today here in #PrescottArizona
