P Be concludes
31 st convention
DETROIT - The Progressive Na­
tional Baptists recently concluded
their 31st Annual Convention
August 2-7. .
An estimated 15,000 people from
around the country, Canada, Mexico,
Africa and the Carribean converged
in Detroit for the five day conven­
tion.
They worshiped, prayed, adopted
budgets and resolutions, elected
leaders, and defined educational and
financial goals in the church and the
community.
THE FINALE, PBNC's
Freedom Night, featured Rev. Je se
Jackson as keynote speaker. Also,
during Freedom Night, Judge
Damon J. Keith was presented with
the Freedom Award for outstanding
African American jurist.
The Convention brought in an es­
timated $10 million to the city of
Detroit.
Rev. John Mungir Sr. of Brook­
lyn, NY was happy that Detroit was
chosen as the site for this year's con­
vention.
. ttl am glad they chose Detroit be­
cause the people of the city have been
going through a lot of suffering wi th
the lost of jobs. And yet, they carry
on. The convention is bringing a lot
of money in, not necessarily for the
Black community, but for Detroit,"
he stated.
The PNBC, founded in 1961, last
met in Detroit in 1963.
