Remembering Cordy Tindell (C.T.) Vivian

The loss of his presence on this earth will be felt globally, especially in this time of civil unrest. Rev. Cordy Tindell (C.T.) Vivian died at the age of 95 of natural causes. We send our prayers and most sincere condolences to his family. 

Rev. C.T. Vivian, in the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was the greatest preacher to ever live. He held numerous leadership positions throughout the Civil Rights Movement, including roles in the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. C.T.  Vivian dedicated his life to working on race relations, fighting white supremacy and build multiculturism in this nation. Thank you, Rev. Vivian for your service and spiritual guidance. Our lives have been enriched through your leadership.
