Dr. King Continued from page 1 injustice for one is tantamount to injustice for all. Crump said the fight for jus- tice is a task all Americans must strive to accomplish. The program cited Dr. King where he stated, “We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.” The occasion was spiced with worship and singing by the choir led by Benjamin Cone III and Worship, which sparked joy and more excitement. A musical selec- tion from popular singer Cynthia Benjamin Cone III and Worship choir Goodloe Palmer also enlivened the occasion. In his introduction of Crump, the president of Mississippi’s chapter of the NAACP Derrick Johnson described him as a distin- guished attorney and civil rights leader who champions social jus- tice. Bishop Dr. Joseph Kopacz of- ficiated and also thanked all who came to fellowship. He agreed that the centrality of social jus- tice has always been germane to Christian teaching. Piney Woods School students and staff with Crump Program coordinator Will Jemi- son made acknowledgements. Present at the occasion were church faithful from all parts of The Cathedral of St. Peter the Apostle downtown Jackson the state adorned in their ceremo- nial outfits, along with political, economic and cultural leaders. Knights of St. Peter Claver and the Ladies Auxiliary in their col- orful outfits added to the ceremo- nial tone. Crump, an articulate, eloquent and amiable personality, is one of the leading trial lawyers in Amer- ica today. He serves on several national boards and associations. Ladies Auxiliary of the Knights of St. Peter Claver with Crump Also in attendance were some of his fraternity brothers from the Omega Psi Phi Beta Alpha Chap- ter. Crump also displayed his pleasure to see the young black males from Piney Woods Country Life School in attendance. Dr. Kopacz is the 11th Bishop of Jackson, since the Catholic Church’s inception in Missis- sippi during the 18th century. The church is experiencing phenom- enal diversity under his tutelage.
