An Anchorage church is among the organizers of a unity march taking place on city streets Saturday.
Organizers say the goal of the 10 a.m. event is to pray for unity in the community and to demonstrate togetherness.
The march will have two starting locations, Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church and the Fairview Recreation Center. Organizers say the participants from both groups will meet and march along Ninth Avenue to a Martin Luther King Memorial at a downtown park strip.
The march is among events that have been held across the nation since recent fatal shootings of black men by police in Louisiana and Minnesota and the killing of five Dallas police officers.
