University Baptist Church recalls visit from Martin Luther King Jr

Posted Jan 19, 2015

Mitchell Simpson, remembering the legacy of his predecessors, both the good and the bad, is of paramount importance. “In all candor, no matter how powerful the person or the speech, there is no legacy if the speech is not remembered,” he said. That’s why at University Baptist Church, the oldest fellowship hall is named after Martin Luther King Jr. (Daily Tar Heel)
