It has only been 50 years since Dr. King was assassinated and the last place he spoke was at Mason Temple.  How fitting the Presiding Bishop Of The Church Of God In Christ host such a historic conference.  Although the church as a whole and African Americans have made great progress we are still living in a time that is very defined by the color of your skin.  

The Civil Rights Movement started in the church and will be the church to carry the work forward today.  The Church Of God In Christ has constantly been at the forefront of the movement.  Here are a few examples you may not have known:  Malchom X funeral was at a COGIC due to pastors being afraid of violence no one would open their doors, Emmett Teal’s mother was a COGIC woman, and most recently Oprah Winfrey told us about Recey Taylor during her acceptance speech at the Golden Globes was walking home from a COGIC church when she was attacked by six white men.  Just a few examples of how the COGIC Church jas empacted the movement.
