PICAYUNE, Miss. (WLOX) - Picayune residents got into the spirit of Martin Luther King Jr. Day with a scaled-down version of its annual MLK parade.
A line of about 15 cars along with ATVs and even one person on a bicycle rolled through town Monday morning to honor and celebrate the work of the iconic civil rights leader. They said even though COVID-19 mandates caused the event to be smaller than in years past, it was important to make the parade happen during these uncertain times.
