Dozens gathered Sunday inside Roxbury’s historic Twelfth Baptist Church to celebrate the legacy of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. with music and prayer while reflecting on the civil rights leader’s time in Boston, as well as the city’s place in the historic struggle for racial equity.
During the church’s annual MLK Convocation service, the Rev. Willie Bodrick II, the church’s senior pastor, and its associate pastor, the Rev. Jeffrey L. Brown, honored the families of Willie Bennett and Alan Swanson, two men who decades ago were publicly identified in the news media as suspects in the 1989 murder of Carol DiMaiti Stuart.
