**Casa Grande Students Honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with Annual Unity March**

Casa Grande students came together at Peart Park for the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Unity March, honoring the legacy of the civil rights leader. The event, a tradition in the community since 2004, provides an opportunity for students to reflect on Dr. King’s contributions to social justice and equality.

The march is organized by Casa Grande Parks & Recreation and aims to celebrate the enduring impact of Dr. King’s work. His message of unity and inclusion continues to inspire students year after year, as they gather to commemorate his achievements and promote his vision of building bridges rather than barriers.

The event underscores the importance of community reflection and action, ensuring that Dr. King’s powerful words and ideals remain a guiding light for future generations.
