 The Outcome- 
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.

THE GOD OF REV. DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING-JR: ALL LIVES MATTER—DAY OF PRAYER

Today in America we are seeing way too much violence.  Guns in our schools and on the streets filling the nation with murders is causing many to panic and go into deep levels of depression and outrage.  People are crying and looking for a way out and a way up.   We see the absence of God (LOVE) in many places and many are saying it's time to bring America back to God.   How will we do it? We say: WE'VE DECIDED TO BE UNITED   #wd2bu   Hate is at an all-time high and love at an all-time low. Where are the venues of hope and restoration? One for sure in the MLK Memorial. The Martin Luther King Memorial honors the works of God through his servant, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. During the MLK50 Commemoration of Rev.

The Alarm to Overcome Hate/Evil/Violence Has Rang and the Snooze Setting has been Disabled!  It's not the guns, the government, religion or religious prayers that will change the culture.
