LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. — The United Ebony Society of Gwinnett County hosted its 19th Annual Martin Luther King Day Celebration.

In keeping with the theme, this year, there were four grand marshals which included:
City of Lawrenceville Mayor Judy Jordan Johnson
City of Norcross Mayor Craig Newton
State Representative, District 99, Brenda Lopez Romero
State Representative, District 101, Sam Park
Each person is a history maker in Gwinnett County.
The parade ended at Moore Middle School, where event goers were welcomed in.
Inside, they got an opportunity to discover over 30 organizations in the county.
The President of the United Ebony Society, Marlene Taylor-Crawford, said the purpose is to show the youth they can become leaders as well.
"We ensure that students are apart of whatever we do, because they have to continue on the legacy," Crawford said.
