Tribute To Rick Anthony Video

The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Committee, Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman, and Annapolis Mayor Gavin Buckley honored retiring Anne Arundel County Department of Recreation and Parks Director Rick Anthony at a ceremony at the People’s Park in Annapolis, Maryland. Director Anthony oversaw the installment of the iconic Civil Rights Foot Soldiers Memorial, which is located in the People’s Park.

The memorial was donated to the City of Annapolis in 2013 on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington. The memorial honors the “foot soldiers” who attended that historic march.
