Producer Dr. Arthur L. Hunt, Jr., Speaks in Advocacy of the Passing of Senate Bill 519
LITTLE ROCK—On Tuesday, April 4,
2017, (the 49th Anniversary of the Assassination of Rev. Dr. King), Arkansas will
kick-off a 30-day period to the 2017 National Day of Prayer with a month-long
prayer assignment. The 2017 “Give Us This Day” Prayer Breakfast &
Gathering comes forth and embraces Governor Asa Hutchinson's recent signing into
law Senate Bill 519, eliminating the dual holiday status and concurrent
commemoration of General Robert E. Lee and Dr. Martin Luther King. With his
signature, the Dr. King holiday will continue to be celebrated on the third
Monday in January, while General Lee’s day of recognition will be moved to the
second Saturday of October. April 4 will be the first National Day of
Remembrance of Rev. King’s legacy and the first time Arkansans will gather
beyond the signing of the Bill.
The Prayer Breakfast and Gathering is
being held to say thanks to God for this progress in Arkansas and in our nation,
and then to continue to pray forward God’s wisdom and favor for this day of
honor for His Prophet/Pastor/Preacher, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It will take place from 8am-9am at the
Doubletree Hotel, Downtown Little Rock. April 4th also marks the
30-day period from April 4th- May 4th. May 4th is the National Day of
Prayer.
The Prayer Breakfast and month-long
prayer assignment through tributes and prayers of proclamation for peace,
racial healing and advocacy to end violence, brings leaders from the National
Day of Prayer Task Force, pastors from across the state, faith-based and
community based organizations together to continue to pray for the courageous spiritual
leaders, legislators and others who worked hard to see this day come
forth. National Day of Prayer leaders
will add a voice of prayerful support and thanks to Governor Hutchinson who
among many of his actions, wrote a letter to the NAACP and delivered the
keynote address delivered at the NAACP State Convention 9.11.2015, Prayer
Breakfast to faith-based and state
leaders at the invitation of Mr. Dale Charles advancing this legislation.
Senate Bill 519 will also provide, for
the first time in Arkansas, a statewide policy of teaching our children about
the Civil War. In addition, with this bill we will coordinate instruction about
civil rights leaders and Martin Luther King-specific teaching materials with
the holiday that bears his name.
At the Prayer Breakfast, plans for first MLK Holiday ‘exclusive’ celebration beyond the signing of the Bill will be shared by Mr. Dale Charles, President of the Little Rock NAACP (1988-Present) and producer of the MLK Holiday MARADE (the longest-running MLK Holiday Tribute in the state) along with national MLK Legacy producers who are paving the way for a historic salute to the 50th Anniversary beyond Rev. Dr. King’s Assassination.
