The Southern Christian Leadership Conference kicks off its annual convention in Atlanta tomorrow. This is the SCLC’s 50th anniversary year. It was co-founded by Atlanta native and late civil rights leader Doctor Martin Luther King Junior. The civil rights group will be focusing on economic empowerment and voting rights. Democratic presidential hopefuls Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are expected to attend, along with former President Bill Clinton. The group says it invited all presidential candidates as well as President George Bush.
