I don't know everyone there and I didn't shoot everything. Some things I edited out because a better shot came up later.
Except for the last image, I'm posting everything in sequence. Consequently, I'll let the program (first image) - which contains one or two no-shows - do the talking. Hopefully, you can match things up. If you have a good imagination (or a good bottle of wine), you might hear singing ("We Shall Overcome") in images 33-35 if you put your ear to your monitor screen.
During the ceremony, I located Hackensack Mayor LaBrosse, Deputy Mayor Canestrino, and Councilman Sims and mentioned that I'd like to get a shot of them by the statue when the festivities ended. As it turned out, the hundreds of people in attendance had the same idea. It was a happy mob scene.
The shot that I got was a close as we could get. I didn't want them to have to squint in the bright sun, but I just couldn't convince Martin to accommodate us and face a different direction.
The shot after that one shows Englewood mayor Frank Huttle III, his wife Assemblywoman Valerie Vainieri Huttle, MLK statue sculptor Richard Blake, and Hackensack Mayor John LaBrosse.
By the way, I saw former Mayor Marlin Townes there. He's in the lower center of the 10th photo - well, his back is there - and he's wearing a tan jacket.
If you're not familiar with photo stitches, they are multiple side-by-side images that are digitally stitched together to make a single, more panoramic image. There are 2 stitches in this collection and each stitch is made up of 4 images. It was the only way that I could show the most people in one photo.
