The 4th Annual FCPS Banquet featured keynote speaker Dr. Alveda C. King (niece of civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr.), an outspoken defender of the unborn. It was a wonderful evening of good food and fellowship! In total, about 350 people attended, helping to raise more than $50,000 for the unborn.

Dr. Alveda King is the daughter of the late slain civil rights activist Rev. A. D. King and his wife Naomi Barber King. During the years of the Civil Rights Movement, led by her uncle, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Alveda's family suffered greatly. "Daddy's house was bombed, then in Louisville, Kentucky his church office was bombed. I was also jailed during the open housing movement," she recalls.

Alveda is the founder of King for America, Inc. and serves as a Pastoral Associate for Priests for Life. “Perhaps the most compelling issue of all is the life of the unborn," Alveda says. "Faith in God, and the commitment to fulfill His will for our lives – not faith in government bureaucracy – is the key to positive action. Have faith in God!" This is the message that Alveda carries to the world.
