MLK Day Interfaith Peace Walk

On Saturday January 17, people from all around the Capital District joined in an interfaith peace walk through the city of Albany. The walk was a prayer for peace throughout the country and the world and called on the wisdom of Martin Luther King Jr. as well as many local civil rights leaders including Alice Green and Colia Clark. As the walkers wound through the city, they made stops at various places of worship and community centers to join in prayers for peace with leaders of all denominations as well as songs and poems. The first voice you hear is one of the organizers, local musician,Taína Asili.
