Dr. Martin Luther King’s challenge 50 years ago to America to “make real the promises of democracy” remains today and his legacy to social and economic justice will be celebrated at the 12th Annual Silverton MLK Observance, 6:00 p.m., Monday, January 19, at the Silverton Grange, 201 Division, just off of S. Water. The evening of community potluck, music, short readings and audio samplings of Dr. King’s speeches is co-sponsored by the Silverton Grange and Silverton People for Peace. The potluck traditionally has featured southern-style cooking with suggested dishes that were Dr. King’s favorites, including macaroni & cheese, pork chops, baked ham, green beans and ham, cooked greens and apple pie. In recognition of Dr. King work as a beacon of hope to the economically disadvantage and in keeping of the tradition of the holiday as one of community service, donations of blankets, coats, hats scarves and gloves – as well as any canned goods – to Silverton Area Community Aid are encouraged. The Silverton Grange is 1.7 miles south of Main and Water and two blocks east on Division Street. A street sign for the Grange Hall is on S. Water and Division. The event is open to the community.
