LEXINGTON, Ky. (ABC36 NEWS NOW) – Mayor Linda Gorton has issued a proclamation in support of Lexington’s “Hands Across–Stand Together” unity event, honoring the 62nd anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s historic “I Have a Dream” speech.

The event is scheduled for noon, with participants standing hand in hand across the community—from New Circle Road, along Versailles Road, and extending through Main Street and Winchester Road.
