Over one thousand people packed the pews and balcony Monday night for the annual
SCLC - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday Mass Celebration at the
Friendship Baptist Church, 3530 Chelsea, Kansas City, MO. The guest speaker for the evening was
U.S. Representative James Clyburn of South Carolina. Clyburn remined the crowd about Dr. Kings fight for civil rights in the 60's and during hard times. His challenge was not just to remember his message but to continue to fight for justice and equality within our community and civil government. To me this year was much different than most years only because I actually paid attention to the his message while taking pictures. Yeah...I know that sounds bad; that sounds as if I can't walk and chew gum at the same time. LOL! But seriously, his message resonated within me and offered me a challenge.
