BILOXI, MS (WLOX) -
Some employees of a large company chose to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's legacy through service, Monday. They worked together to make a difference in one east Biloxi neighborhood.
Under sunny skies they toiled, trying to beautify John Henry Beck Park on Division Street. About 20 Mississippi Power employees turned their day off into a day of service.
"Martin Luther King was all about service and serving other people and that's what we encourage our employees to do. You can see a lot of people have pitched in their time to come out here and work for a good cause," said Mississippi Power District Manager Stephen Schruff.
One crew rebuilt a ramp for the gazebo, while another group of volunteers painted the front and back porches of the "Coastal Women for Change" office building.
"It's overwhelming. It's a blessing. It's humbling the fact that people gave up their day to help others. And Martin would love this, because this is what he was talking about. He's saying come together, equality," said Coastal Women for Change Executive Director Sharon Hanshaw.
Kenneth Means brought his two children to help spruce-up the Community Garden. They tilled the dirt, raked, and cleaned-up the area.
"Go over there and get that trash. See it trash on that fence?" he told his six-year-old son Kenneth Means, III.
The Mississippi Power engineer wanted to show his children how they can put King's message into action.
"I think it's important as parents, and also as an African-American father, that we allow our kids to see us go out and have a day of caring. Today, while it is a holiday, it's really not a day off. So for my kids, I think it's important that we lead by example," said Means.

"I was 15 then," said Doris Moore Bailey of Lakeland and founder of the Bailey Group, a consulting firm. "I watched the bit of news on the television back then. It was a scary and painful time, and the movie brought it all back.
"You saw part of it (the events at the time), but you didn't see anything like what the movie showed," she said, including representations of a church bombing two years before that killed four black girls and the brutal beatings that sent 55 of the 600 Selma, Ala., marchers to the hospital.
"We sat around and talked about it at the time. People would visit on porches, back when there were porches, and talk about it and there was pain and fear."
Bailey said she saw the movie with a group of people last weekend in Orlando.
"It is devastating. It brings back painful memories, and it was more graphic than the 1960s television reporting," she said.
"There was a lot of fear at that time. We didn't know what would happen next."
But the events in Selma moved many in the U.S. to fight the treatment of minorities.
On March 9, 1965, 3,000 marchers walked through Selma a second time and stopped to kneel and pray at the Edmund Pettus Bridge, where Bloody Sunday had taken place, then returned to the city without going on to Montgomery.
On March 21, after Lyndon Johnson sent 2,000 Army troops and FBI agents and federalized the Alabama National Guard to give protection along the route, people marched again, this time making it to Montgomery. In the months that followed, black voters' rights were enforced throughout the nation, and "white only" signs began to come down.

CLARKESVILLE - It took more than nine months to get everything in place, but the City of Clarkesville is beginning the process of cleaning up its downtown after a catastrophic 2014 fire.
"We're very excited," City Manager Barbara Kesler said recently. "This is the cleanup and stabilization of the buildings."
Work began this week, and will continue between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday through Friday until mid-March.
The scope of the work includes cleanup of burned buildings, removal of awnings and removal of porches on the east side of the Clarkesville Square.
"What this is going to allow us to do is to remove the murals and open the entire sidewalk back up," Kesler said. "The porches are also going to be removed from the former Natalie Jane's building and the Parkers' building, so really that sidewalk is going to be more clear than it's been...."
Removal of the wooden porches will help the city get back to a more original appearance on the east side of the Square.
"They were certainly not original to those buildings, so really it's the first step into getting the buildings back to their original, historically-accurate facade. making sure that they're stabilized, and then once that's done, making a decision as to how we're going to go forward with the redevelopment of the buildings," Kesler said.
Blake Rainwater and Associates has been contracted by the city to perform the work.
City leaders say small Bobcat-style excavators will be the largest equipment used, with no bulldozers or other large earth-moving equipment involved.
Dumpsters will be located in the city parking lot in front of the four buildings for about a month, and there also may be dumpsters behind those buildings.

Pleasant Plains has a lower profile than the neighborhoods that surround it inNorthwest Washington Columbia Heights, LeDroit Park, Bloomingdale and Park View.
In fact, its often referred to as Columbia Heights. If we look at our tax assessments our neighborhood is called Columbia Heights, but in our deeds it says Pleasant Plains, said Darren Jones, a lifelong resident, president of the Pleasant Plains Civic Association and co-founder of the Georgia Avenue Community Development Task Force. Thats because the city can charge more, because Columbia Heights houses are bigger.
Still, Pleasant Plains residents say that doesnt stop them from trying to ensure their neighborhood gets the respect it deserves.
Jones and Patrick Nelson are leading activists who can rattle off a list of accomplishments toward that goal.
We work together on everything, said Nelson, vice president of the civic association and a 22-year resident. For example, getting 19 stops on the Pleasant Plains Heritage Trail. We lobbied the city for three years.
The Georgia Avenue Window Walk is another project. We put local artwork in the windows of vacant storefronts, Jones said, pointing to colorful paintings on glass, paper and brick in empty stores.
Ingrid Frey, who moved into her Pleasant Plains condo more than five years ago, works on this project. Anytime I heard about neighborhood events, I joined, she said. That got me to know the community, merchants, and I learned how much people care about living here.
Banneker Recreation Center, built in 1939 as the citys first such facility built for African Americans, was dilapidated until recently. Today, there are two ball fields, a pool, a playground and basketball courts. It was rebuilt through community pressure and lots and lots of meetings, Nelson said.
Sherman Avenue also benefited from local input. We lobbied the D.C. Department of Transportation and worked with [former council member] Jim Graham to reduce traffic, Nelson said. The result was installation of a median in the middle of the boulevard.
