I am not certain, but I would bet, and certainly hope, the Rev Dr. France Davis, from the Calvary Baptist Church will be there. I saw him speak at an interfaith luncheon many years ago and was blown away by his history. He marched with Dr. Martin Luther King for civil rights in this country and has been a strong voice in Utah since 1972. http://ethnic.utah.edu/faculty/France-Davis.html
