Title: President, Dr. King address ALC convention.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-46141 PRESIDENT, DR. KING ADDRESS ALC CONVENTION DETROIT -- At top, President Gerald Ford addresses delegates attending the seventh general convention of the American Lutheran Church in Detroit. After receiving an enthusiastic welcome as he entered the convention hall, President Ford said he was moved by their convention theme, Ministering to a Hungry World, and commended the ALC for its work in preparing for the bicentennial. Seated among the platform guests were Dr. Fredrik Schoitz, ALC president emeritus, and his wife. Below, Dr. Martin Luther King, Sr. (right) is warmly greeted by delegates after speaking to the convention. Dr. King, who is pastor of Atlanta’s Ebenezer Baptist Church, said he felt no bitterness towards those who killed his wife and son. “I do not hate the man (James Earl Ray) seeking a new trial in Tennessee who supposedly took the life of my dear son," he told the delegates. “I don’t hate the man (Wayne Chenault) who came by…to get me and took the life of my wife. I’ve got a job to do -- I love you, every one of you, and I hope you love me." Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (C-DET-10C-74-DS)
