Engelhart Walks for Respect
On Thursday June 5, Mike Engelhart had the wonderful opportunity to walk in the 1st Annual Walk for Respect in Memorial Park. The event was put together by the Anti-Defamation League and other local civil rights groups. Its purpose was to bring attention to the ongoing need for tolerance and understanding between different minority and majority groups, as well as to commemorate the 10th Anniversary of the horrific dragging death of James Byrd, Jr. James' family was in attendance, as well as representatives from PFLAG, the NAACP, and LULAC.
The walk kicked off around 11 a.m., and participants followed a banner around the 3 mile park walking trail.
Mike was able to speak with the walk's many participants and learn their concerns and what led them to be involved in this historic undertaking. A Gatorade-like drink called "Respect" was distributed, and, happily, everyone seemed to be able to complete the walk without falling over from the heat.
Mike was proud to be a part of this event, and will certainly be a part of next year's walk as well.
