C.T. Vivian returns to struggle to help guide SCLC

ATLANTA (AP) - January 7, 2012 As the venerable civil rights organization emerges from years of turmoil over its management and finances, Vivian's return to the leadership lends SCLC a renewed credibility and a tangible link to what can seem like a bygone period. The minister, author and activist worked alongside the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., the SCLC's co-founder. Vivian says King's message of nonviolent direct action remains relevant and King's fight against war, racism and poverty remains unfinished. He says he is excited to keep working, and is focused on training the younger generation to continue the struggle. (Copyright 2012 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
