WS Chronicle

To The Editor,

For the past 16 years, the Winston-Salem Chronicle and its publisher, Mr. Ernie Pitt, has provided the Triad community with the annual MLK Prayer Breakfast.

While an event of this magnitude (as it pertains to serving the public) isn’t without some minor flaws, everyone who came to the Benton Convention Center was seated, regardless if they didn’t have a ticket.

Let’s not be so quick to criticize our community leaders with rumors and “liquor house lies” that shine a negative light on those who work so hard to make the MLK Prayer Breakfast accessible to all who wish to attend.

Thanks to Mr. Pitt and the entire staff of the Winston-Salem Chronicle.

Michael L. James
