A reverse in direction for this year's Symbolic March and the near perfect weather are said to have helped draw the large gathering to Central Park for this year's MLK Day program. Awaiting the group in the downtown gazebo were live music, food trucks and words from this year's guest speaker, Mike Washington. Washington, described by former TLU Coach Jim Wacker as "the finest athlete I've ever coached" and "the most exciting veer quarterback I've ever seen play the game" helped deliver this year's message.
(Seguin) -- "There is strength in numbers." Those are the words from organizers of this year's MLK Day Planning Committee as they welcomed dozens and dozens of marchers to downtown Seguin on Monday afternoon.

At the end of his collegiate career, Washington's No. 10 jersey was retired and has continued to be remembered thanks to the annual "Mike Washington Most Valuable Player Award." Although that collegiate career came to an end, Washington says being a player and being part of a team continues even after TLU. That team, however, is now shaped as a community and as a country that are left to continue the work of Dr. King. See MLK-DAY, page 2
