The Rev. Al Sharpton, a prominent civil rights activist, will come to a Daytona Beach church where he will lead services and speak about several issues, including the recent rally in Jena, La. The former presidential candidate is expected to be here Oct. 29, 30 and 31 for the Fall Revival at Greater Friendship Baptist Church, 539 George W. Engram Blvd.
“Given his status as the premier civil rights leader in America, it’s a wonderful opportunity for the older and younger generations to hear what I think is a profound message on where we are as a people and where we need to go, and where the nation still needs to go,” said the Rev. Dr. L. Ronald Durham, pastor of the church.
He also said this is a unique opportunity for people, who only know Sharpton as an activist, to hear him preach.
“Believe it or not, he is one of the most electrifying preachers in America today,” Durham said.
The church will open its doors at 6 each night, and services will begin promptly at 7 p.m.
