We will hold a litter cleanup to honor the legacy of MLK Jr. and the Rev. James P. Poindexter. Both contributed greatly toward the ongoing fight for equality and justice during their lifetimes.
Be a volunteer for the MLK National Day of Service and pitch in to better our community. James P. Poindexter became pastor of the Second Baptish Church in 1858 in Columbus. A barber by trade, he was an articulate speaker and prolific writer, speaking out against slavery and discrimination in many of his speeches. He died in 1908 and is buried in Greenlawn Cemetery.
