The Gospel Explosion Choir, a group of about 40 persons from Adair, Taylor and Green counties, provided special music and the service came to a close with all of the ministers in the chapel invited to the stage, hands joined, leading the congregation singing the anthem We Shall Overcome. By Linda Waggener, assistant director of university communications The Rev. Gerald Joiner, Campbellsville University alumnus and member of the CU Church Relations Council, said that he believes Dr. Martin Luther King would not be satisfied with the overall statistics today which show far too many young black men in prisons and far too many teen pregnancies among young black women. As he shared the dream of the great leader and all he had lived, worked and died for, Joiner said he believed that if King were alive he would call on parents, educators and leaders to stand up and say that enough is enough and demand better education, good grades, more accountability and wholesome entertainment for our youth.
