By Brian Moore For the past 7 years, Faith in the City has celebrated Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on the Sunday before MLK Day. More times than not, it seems there is a snowstorm. Sunday, January 19 was not different. As inclement as the weather was, it did not stop the speakers, choir or attendees from celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., recognizing the important work he accomplished and owning the fact that there is still more work to be done. Lake Shore Christian Church has hosted this celebration for the past 7 years. The celebration this year started with Fr. Joseph Fortuna from Our Lady of the Lake Parish speaking about where we’ve been. Fr. Joe shared his experiences of witnessing discrimination and bigotry as a child and young adult.
