Arkansas "Give Us This Day: MLK Holiday Roundtable 2016 Begins
On Friday, September 11, 2015 at the Holiday Inn Presidential in Little Rock, Arkansas, the leaders of the Arkansas NAACP convened for the 70th Annual Convention. The convention kicked off with an 8AM AR 9.11 Call to Prayer Breakfast and Roundtable. The theme, “GIVE US THIS DAY” focused on both a humble request and thanks to God for his grace and provisions, but also a strong decree requesting state leaders to make ready and pray forward the plans and the works that must take place for Arkansas to celebrate the MLK Holiday 2016 as an exclusive celebration and thereby no longer being a part of a dual celebration with the Robert E. Lee Day.

Arkansas’ Governor, Asa Hutchinson and
statewide leaders from the arenas of clergy, legislators, faith-based
organizations, community, corporate and youth leaders, and activists
unanimously agreed that MLK Holiday 2016 and beyond should be an exclusive day
of honor for Rev. Dr. King. To God be the Glory. This and more was a part of the discussion
and working strategies at the prayer breakfast and the new roundtable that has
now been activated.
