January 17, 2015 "Racial Inclusion" topic at MLKing Observance 1pm

SPRING GREEN – The Rev. Everett Mitchell will be the guest speaker at River Valley’s annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. observance at 1 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 17 at Spring Green Elementary School, 830 W. Daley St.

Mitchell officiated a historic same-sex marriage in 2014 at Christ the Solid Rock Baptist Church in Madison, where he serves as pastor.

“The Challenge of Radical Inclusion: Building the Beloved Community” will be Mitchell’s topic at this free and open-to-the-public event. Beverages and birthday cake honoring King will be served. Donations will be accepted to cover costs of the annual observance.

In addition to his duties as pastor, Mitchell works as the director of community relations for the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is a former assistant district attorney in Dane County, and served as associate director of the Madison-area Urban Ministry.

Mitchell graduated from Morehouse College, King’s alma mater, in Atlanta with degrees in mathematics and religion. Ordained at age 23, he went on to earn master’s degrees in social ethics and Christian ethics at Princeton Theological Seminary in New Jersey. Mitchell’s theological focus has been examining the relationship of the church to social issues such as poverty, war, incarceration and immigration. In 2010, he graduated with a law degree from UW-Madison. He is married to Mankah Mitchell and has two children, Sydney and Braylon.

The event is hosted by an ad hoc group of River Valley residents. For more information, contact David Giffey at 608-753-2199.
