FORT MYERS, Fla. - A church service in Dunbar Sunday recognized Dr. Martin Luther King's efforts to reach racial equality.
Music and singing filled the air as the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King was on the minds of everyone in the church.
Bishop Halsey Watkins, responsible for delivering the message is born and raised in Fort Myers. "Have we reached what Dr. King's message entitled? Somewhat. We've come a long ways from where we were." he says. As the first black quarterback of Fort Myers High School, he would know.
While acknowledging progress made in the community, he says more work needs to be done. Specifically among law enforcement and the people they serve.
"We need justice for all people. Communicating in our differences with each other we need to be able to come together, which they've began to do that and have some dialog with the new chief." said Bishop Watkins.
People of all color came together to sing along and remember the message of Dr. Martin Luther King- for different races to come together in peace.
