(WSIL) -- The Southern Illinois Unity Coalition hit the road to start the holiday weekend with an MLK Love Train.
Around two dozen vehicles made their way from Harrisburg to Murphysboro, stopping at Marion's Ray Fosse Park along the way.
Coordinator Nancy Maxwell says Saturday's event is about bringing "Love -and- Unity" to the 618.
Since the George Floyd protest the group, which goes by the shortened name SO. ILL Unity Coalition, has been working to gain more awareness on social injustice.
"We want to continue this movement, keep people aware," says Maxwell who is the Community Grassroots Director. "So that one day, maybe not me--will see it in my lifetime, but maybe my child will have an equal opportunity to walk down the street, lay in a bed, play in a park without worrying about being shot."
