MLK breakfast speaker highlights patience, love to battle division, hate

COLUMBUS, Ind. — Selfless love and patience toward one another can help change an often angry and selfish America battling division and hate.

That was a theme of Indianapolis CBS 4 TV morning anchor Frank Mickens’ keynote speech at this morning’s 22nd Annual Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Breakfast at The Commons in downtown Columbus before nearly 300 people.

Mickens, also an ordained Christian minister, wove that message amid Scripture and King’s own words in his address at an event that carried the focus, “One Blood, All Nations.” The crowd included city and educational leaders, human rights officials, ministers, LGBT leaders, business owners and heads of law enforcement, health care and other area disciplines.
