Gary Encourages Unity during
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration

Stuart, FL – Willie E. Gary, prominent attorney and chairman of the Black Family Channel, recently served as the keynote speaker at the Southern Christian Leadership Conference’s (SCLC) 2006 King Celebration in Kansas City, Missouri. The Kansas City Chapter is the second largest SCLC chapter in the country.

Attorney Willie Gary and SCLC committee member Wesley Fields, Esq. met with area school children during the SCLC community luncheon in Kansas City, Missouri

Held at the downtown Marriott Hotel in Kansas City, more than 400 attendees including State Senator Yvonne Wilson, Mayor Pro-Tempore Alvin Brooks, U.S. Representative Reverend Emanuel Cleaver II and others, gathered to hear Gary’s message on the topic of “Unity in our Community: Experience It” during the community luncheon. Boys and girls from area schools were also invited to attend the luncheon as part of the SCLC Youth Day. Gary met with the children and inspired them to set their goals high and strive for academic excellence. Gary spoke to attendees about the importance of contributing time, money and resources to benefit worthy causes. In addition, Gary emphasized the obligation to reach back and help the less fortunate.

“What matters most is not what you have done for yourselves; but what you have done to help the least of these. It is up to each of us assembled here today to heed the call of leadership and make a difference in the lives of the underserved and downtrodden,” said Gary. “By doing this, we honor the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the legacy he has left behind.”

The Southern Christian Leadership Conference is a nonprofit, inter-faith advocacy organization that is committed to non-violent action to achieve social economic and political justice. The SCLC offers important community programs which promote voter registration, conflict resolution, economic empowerment, health care, youth development and collegiate chapter development.

Gary, who is best known in legal circles for taking on some of America’s most powerful companies, winning billions of dollars in verdicts and settlements on behalf of his clients. Gary is also the Chairman of the Black Family Channel, America’s only minority owned and operated, cable television network dedicated to positive programming for the entire family. Known for his philanthropic endeavors, Gary and his wife, Dr. Gloria Gary, founded the Gary Foundation, which provides college scholarships to at-risk students who wish to attend college. The Gary’s have donated millions of dollars to help Historically Black Colleges and Universities, including $10 million to his alma mater Shaw University in Raleigh, North Carolina.
