Special service honors MLK, racial healing

Brandon Clokey speaks during the 10 a.m. worship service Sunday at Pilgrim Congregational Church, 2310 E. Fourth St., in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. An opportunity for discussion follows.

Clokey offers his reflections on the ongoing work of racial reconciliation in our diverse society. He has been working with students of color and staff at North Star Academy in Duluth. He is executive director of the Duluth Fathering Project and is an active member of Lincoln Park Community Church.

Clokey believes people of faith have a unique perspective on racial and economic differences, and a particular mandate to work to improve relationships and promote acceptance across differences.
