Here is a photo sent to me by Catherine Boone Ervin Sapp via Jolynn Wainright. It is a multi-church Beverly MLK Celebration organized by Bill Gaines held at Bethel AME Church in the 1970s. I am told that the audience went wild when Mr. Dwight Boone delivered the I Have a Dream speech from memory. Many of you will recognize Formans, Wainrights, Jacksons, Gaines, Henrys. I tagged some, but I will need help identifying everyone. I am trying to locate the program that goes with the photo. If anyone has it, please, pass it on to the Riverfront Historical Society. We need more photos and artifacts that document Beverlys African American history. Please donate items and add to our collection which is on display at Coopertown Meeting House.
