When I lived in Casper, WY, we had an extra special remembrance every MLK day as a young man from there was killed in the south in the 60s when he went there to work for civil rights. In Casper, the majority of marchers on this day are white. The black population is very small in numbers. Even so, there was homophobia when my lesbian friends and a few others were made to feel distinctly unwelcome when they attended services for MLK at the AMEC. Nevertheless, we all came together at a banquet, every year with everyone welcome, some terrific speakers, music, etc. and continuing discussions and reports on what we were all doing in our community and state to fight racism and other human rights. Our organisation worked for human rights throughout the state and year.
