Rights drive
At Second Baptist Church, NAACP president Lonnie Feemster, left, and Rev. John Emerson brief participants in the 2011 Martin Luther King Caravan. Each year on King Day, the caravan of cars traverses the portion of U.S. 395 named for the slain civil rights leader. Missing from the caravan for the first time this year because of hospitalization was Rev. Onie Cooper, who spent years trying to get a major street in Reno or Sparks named for King. The state stepped in and named a section of 395 after King when the two cities were unwilling to do so.
