Dr. Otis Moss Jr. for our Feb. 21 chapel," Dr. John Chowning, executive assistant to Campbellsville University's president for government, community and constituent relations, said. "As a contemporary and associate of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Dr. Moss is particularly qualified to speak with moral authority and clarity as we consider the continuing legacy and vision of Dr. King in 2018 -- 50 years after Dr. King's assassination. "Dr. Moss will challenge us to renew our commitment to fulfilling the dream and vision for which Dr. King lived and died." Moss formerly served as co-pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta and worked closely with King, who was the senior pastor. Moss enjoyed a close and personal relationship with King and his continued his work fighting the ills of our society. He serves as a national board member and trustee for the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Non-Violent Social Change. In 1975, he was called to pastor Olivet Institutional Baptist Church in Cleveland, Ohio, where he now serves as pastor emeritus. Moss' work in the international community has taken him to Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan as a member of a clergy mission in 1970 and to Israel in 1978. In 1994, he was the special guest of President Bill Clinton at the peace treaty signing between Israel and Jordan, and, in that same year, he led a special mission to South Africa. Moss is the recipient of numerous awards and honors including: Human Relations Award from Bethune Cookman College in 1976, The Role Model of the Year Award from the National Institute for Responsible Fatherhood and Family Development in 1992, Leadership Award from the Cleveland chapter of the American Jewish Committee in 1996, and an Honorary Doctor of Divinity from LaGrange College in 2004. In 2004, he participated in the Oxford Round Table in Oxford, England, and was a guest presenter for the Lyman Beecher Lecture series at Yale University. A native of Georgia, Moss was born on Feb. 26, 1935, and was raised in the community of LaGrange.
