Byron Clay, the outgoing head of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, will be guest speaker Friday at the annual presentation of the local Martin Luther King Jr. Scholarship Foundation.
That event will be held tomorrow (Friday, January 22nd) at noon in the Science Lecture Hall at Southern University in Shreveport.
Clay, a native and resident of New Orleans, previously served as the SCLC's national vice president at-large, and now manages and leads the organization and its approximately 75 chapters across the nation.
He soon will pass over his presidency to recently elected Bernice A. King, daughter of the late Martin Luther King Jr. King will be the SCLC's first female president. The slain Civil Rights leader was co-founder of the SCLC in 1957.
