The Brunswick City Commission proclaimed Saturday, June 22, 2024, as Janoah Martin Picnic Day to honor the late community leader’s decades of service to Seldon Park and Brunswick’s cultural life.
The mayor read a formal proclamation recounting Martin’s roles — director of Seldon Park for 34 years, a weekly radio host and a promoter who brought nationally known artists to the community — and invited family members and community leaders to speak and join a photograph. A family member and Pastor Moody described Martin’s influence on youth programs, Sunday-school picnics and local athletics and said the picnic will be an annual event to celebrate the park’s heritage.
The proclamation calls on residents and community leaders to gather at Seldon Park on the fourth Saturday of June for fellowship and recreation; organizers said future events will include softball, games and continued church participation.
