Danville Human Relations Director Sandra Finch described what the day means to her…
{“It just means that we know that we have to encourage people to celebrate the diversity that we have in this community,’’ said Finch.}
Ed Butler, President of the NAACP in Danville, says he looks forward to the events each year honoring Dr. King….
{‘’You know we hold these marches, and programs, and services and stuff to just to kind of commemorate him, to let the young folks especially know what the dream is all about,’’ said Butler during an interview with VermilionCountyFirst.com News.}
