Operator: Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Resources Connection, Inc. Conference Call. [Operator Instructions] As a reminder, this conference call is being recorded.
In a service full of hopeful songs and encouraging words, St. John s Missionary Baptist Church kept the spirit of Martin Luther King Jr. alive Monday with its annual MLK Youth Program.
The program opened with a few words of welcome from the Rev. Allen Smith followed by the singing of Lift Every Voice and Sing.
A big theme of the day was about King s dream to unite people from different backgrounds in the United States to make it better and to move forward by loving those people.
The first speaker was a Kansas Wesleyan University student, D Andre Childress, who told the story of his life, about the questions he had to ask, such as who the Ku Klux Klan is and why people look at him differently because of the color of his skin.
