TROY, Ohio -- Participants taking part in the annual march honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Monday in Troy were greeted again this year by members of the National Socialist Movement.

This year about a dozen of the members followed the marchers from downtown Troy to the police department and then on to the First Presbyterian Church where King and his dream were remembered.

The march paused at the police department, where officers and their safety were the focus of a community prayer.

In Sidney, the steady rain did not hamper the Fifth Annual Martin Luther King Jr. March on Monday morning.

Dozens of people walked the 2-mile parade route from Sidney High School to Sidney Fire Station No. 1 in downtown. A special outdoor service at the Shelby County Courthouse was moved indoors at the fire station due to the rain.
