The struggle continues; every generation must fight to sustain it until we can realize the Beloved Community where poverty, war/violence, and racism no longer prevail in our communities and our nation. Rev. A. D. King’s sense of purpose and his strong moral conscience led him to continue to fight the “triple evils” of racism, poverty and war. In addition to his overall leadership and involvement in the Civil Rights Movement, some of Rev. King’s most important contributions to the movement were recruiting, training, and mobilizing students engaged in peaceful protests, marches, sit-ins, and rallies. Rev. King was also chosen to lead the Poor People’s Campaign, wherein tens of thousands of people from across the United States gathered at the nation’s capital in Washington, D.C. His commitment and dedication to the movement for equity, freedom, jobs, and justice for all are illustrated in the 2009 documentary entitled “Rev A D King: Brother to Dream: Behold The Dream”. He paid dearly with his life, preaching love and nonviolence as instruments of change, not war. Mrs. Naomi King supported her husband’s activism, often by his side. Keeping Rev. A. D. King’s memory and legacy alive, she picked up the mantle. Mrs. King and Dr. Babs Onabanjo established the A. D.
