MOSS POINT -- Addie Wells, at 70 years old, is about ready to give up her walking shoes, which she did partly on the Marin Luther King Jr. Day march on Monday. This year was the first time in 37 years that she has not made the trek with other residents on the route to the MLK program at a local church. She said she'd been ripping and running so that her feet were sore, so she rode in one of the many vehicles that made up the caravan.
Regardless of her reason for not being among the walkers on Monday, she was happy to see so many young people participating in the annual march honoring Dr. King in Jackson County. She sees the future of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference among young people.
