San Marcos, Texas has a unique intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. and Lyndon Baines Johnson Streets. There a simple structure symbolizes the meeting of MLK and LBJ in the Oval Office. And for the past 24 years, a walk has commenced from that location, through the Dunbar neighborhood, and on to the Hays County Courthouse, where speakers commemorate Martin Luther King Jr.
2026 was no different, as memorial wreathes were laid, and hundreds of college students and boomers, families and church groups marched in solidarity. I am sorry to say I had never been before ... I'm glad to say I made it this year.
P.S. I did bring my Hippie Nana for Peace sign and a fellow Boomer asked to take a picture. And here’s a link to the song I mentioned in the comments:
