Save Lincoln Place / Martin Luther King Day Rally
The rally on January 16 was a great success. We had a long and impressive list of speakers who came out to support Lincoln Place tenants and remind us of Dr. King's legacy. The rally attracted about 350 people at its peak, and more who came at various parts of the day. Thank you to all who attended!
