Equality March Texas will hold its first Holocaust Remembrance march on Wednesday, Jan. 27.
Organizer Latisha McDaniel said, “The event is meant to recognize the sometimes forgotten victims of the Holocaust, the LGBT community. Many members of our community don’t even know the full meaning of the pink triangle and what happened to the people who wore that patch. It is extremely important not forget this horrific part of our history especially with the imminent legislation in Uganda and Rwanda. The persecution is far from over.”
There will be a march from the Highland Park fountain where Oak Lawn Avenue becomes Preston Road to the statue at Oak Lawn Avenue and Cedar Springs Road. Afterward there will be speakers at the Warwick Melrose Hotel.
McDaniel said that marchers should park near the Crossroads and a shuttle will run from Cedar Springs to the start point of the march from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m.
The march will begin at 7 p.m. and it will take 20 to 40 minutes to get to the Melrose depending on speed of marchers and traffic. The presentation at the Melrose will begin at 8 p.m.
In case of rain, go directly to the Melrose Hotel.
