The Portsmouth Black Heritage Trailcelebrated the fiftieth anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s March on Washington on Wednesday. As church bells rang out across Portsmouth and the nation, a parade made its way to the city's African Burial Ground. The Leftist Marching Band and singer Sharon Jones serenaded a small crowd, followed by a recitation of MLK's famous speech by Kelvin Edwards, and words from Exeter Academy's Reverend Robert Thompson.
