The march will feature a speech by Floyd Rose, president of the Valdosta, Ga. chapter of SCLC, and a moment of silence for former SCLC Cobb chapter president Dwight Graves, who died in January; Jorelys Rivera, who was murdered by a maintenance worker in Cherokee County last year; and Troy Davis, who was executed in September for killing a police officer.

The march begins at 9 a.m. at the Cobb Civic Center and ending at Marietta Square.
