CONWAY — About 20 people participated in a 2.5-mile peace march from Redstone to North Conway’s Schouler Park Monday in honor of slain civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-68), whose birthday was observed Monday as a national holiday.
At noon, the group started at Eagles Way and made their way up North-South Road before turning west onto Mountain Valley Mall Boulevard and then north onto the Route 16 sidewalk, reaching Schouler Park at 1:06 p.m.
