Dr. Alveda King to Join Pro-Life Civil Rights Activists for Black History Month Events Today

Contact:  Jerry Horn, Priests for Life, 540-220-0095

 

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28 /Standard Newswire/ -- Dr. Alveda King, Pastoral Associate of Priests for Life and niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., will participate today in events celebrating Black History Month and examining the role abortion has played in the African American community.

"As Black History Month comes to a close and we move forward, we cannot forget the devastating impact abortion on demand has had and continues to have on African-Americans," said Dr. King.  "Abortion has wiped out one out of four blacks in the United States.  That's 15 million Americans who have been denied the most fundamental civil right, the right to life."

Dr. King will join other leaders for prayer vigils at abortion facilities, a press conference at the Family Research Council, and an afternoon Capitol Hill reception at the Cannon House Office Building.

Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org.
