The City of Rockville began its week of service and celebration in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Saturday.
Mayor Monique Ashton, councilmembers and the city’s Human Rights Commission presented a documentary about racially segregated churches in Gaithersburg’s Quince Orchard community and enabled residents to participate in service projects through its Salute to Nonprofits.
The event also featured a panel discussion with local justice, equity, diversity and inclusion professionals; a drum performance by Soul in Motion; a kid-friendly performance by Groovy Nate; and craft activities for children.
