ICLC honors ‘the man and the movement’ that changed America

Participants join hands during the 42nd annual Dr. Martin Luther King Birthday Celebration at St. John’s Missionary Baptist Church. The gathering, sponsored by the Indiana Christian Leadership Conference (ICLC), serves “as an individual rededication experience to the civil rights movement of Dr. King,” said Rev. Thomas L. Brown, president of ICLC and host of the weekly Harambee radio program on WTLC-AM 1310. Dignitaries (below) representing government, organizations and churches were among the hundreds in attendance. The message of the celebration, “Beware of the Snakes,” was presented by Stephen Clay, pastor of Messiah Missionary Baptist Church and president of the Baptist Ministerial Alliance. (Photo/G.
