Read excerpt
In the gut-wrenching days of the Civil Rights Movement, it was the prayer rallies that confronted the growling police dogs, fire hoses, and other tools of racial intolerance.

However, 14 years later, Byrd is celebrating another monumental moment in his ministry, as he is poised to take the reins of the Progressive National Baptist Convention (PNBC).
