Schedule of Events:

12 p.m. - 1 p.m. Faith and the Fight Interfaith Panel

"One of the most foundational roles that civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. served in was as a religious leader. He first served as pastor at the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama and then later became co-pastor, along with his father, of the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia.

In addition to being a center of worship, what has been the role in the Black Church in the fight for equal rights? Does the Black Church of today serve as a space for inspiring and mobilizing its members?

In celebration of MLK, Jr.’s tireless work, please join us for a discussion, led by Pastor Emeritus France Davis (retired from Calvary Baptist Church in Salt Lake City), and including pastors from several Black Churches along the Wasatch Front."
