SCLC | Write the Vision, Make it Plain, Run With It!

At least a thousand people packed the Friendship Baptist Church Monday evening to participate in the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 2010 Holiday Celebration sponsored by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). In previous years, the birthday celebration was held at the St. Stephen Baptist Church.

Rev. James A. Terrance Jr., who is pastor of Friendship Baptist, was the keynote speaker. There is no doubt that he is a man of God and anointed with the Holy Spirit. I took over 300 images that evening and every photo gave me chills. If you wasn't there, let's just say Dr. King himself had to shout. Rev. Terrance preached!
