The brief ceremony will be followed by a Peace March lead by local elected officials, clergy and the Chillicothe Police and Fire Departments to Wesley-Taylor at 30 E. Main Street.

The Church of Deliverance at 393 North High Street in Chillicothe will be the host of this year's Martin Luther King & Jubilee Day observance on January 20th. The 3pm event will feature guest speaker Jeremy Beverly.
