"We are bound to keep the Dr. King's dream alive, it is our intent to bring people together and be a conduit for all in the Dallas/Fort-Worth Metroplex. We must assist in changing attitudes of defeat into the desires to do God's will, with respect for human dignity as well as the right to free will. " Reverend Derrick Bowman, president of SCLC
