PRESI DENT’S CORNER
THE RIGHT TO VOTE…THE FIGHT FOR JUSTICE! Join us for the 63rd Annual SCLC Convention! By Dr. Charles Steele Jr., SCLC National President & CEO
ATLANTA – As president and CEO of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), I would like to welcome you to the 63rd Annual SCLC Hybrid Convention. We’re so excited about the opportunity to gradually move towards pre-covid style conventions with our hybrid model meeting schedule this year. Although most off the convention will be virtual, we will have an in-person prayer breakfast. The convention will begin with a prayer breakfast Thursday morning at Hillside International Truth Center in Atlanta, GA with all subsequent events being held virtually on the SCLC convention website (www. sclcconvention.com). We’re so excited to meet at the convention with so many distinguished and national and international leaders from around the globe. Each year that we host our annual convention is another year that hope springs eternal for the world. Our faith in God helps us regenerate a restored hope in humanity that the good in us all will outweigh the bad. At this year’s convention we have brought together like-minded individuals as we work to safeguard justice and equality for all God’s children all across the globe. With all Americans tired battered and bruised from the effects of the Coronavirus (Covid-19) crisis, I, Charles Steele, Jr., president and CEO of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), today call on each and every one of you to stand up and create change and leadership in your community for the good of mankind. Understand the power you hold in your voice, your actions and your leadership. I believe that God created each of us for a divine purpose of helping mankind in our very own way…big or small. We all bring value into this world. Let us not become complacent in our thinking. Let not the societal temptations of the world distract us from the very real issues that plague our country today. Poverty, violence, voting
