Reminisce on MLK in Omaha
There’s an adage that goes: “The best part of the meal is the company.” And those words were never more true than in June 1958 when the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. came to town. King was in town to attend the National Sunday School and Baptist Training Union Congress. King, then 29 years old, spent two days in Omaha. In that time, he gave a speech to an estimated 18,000 people, he was named vice-president of the organization and he had a delicious soul food meal with Ned and Bertha Moore and their family at their home at 2011 Ohio St.
