THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER
Oh, say can you see, by the dawn ‘s early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

2023 Martin Luther King, Jr. Observance and Awards LIFT EVERY VOICE AND SING
By James Weldon Johnson
Lift every voice and sing. ‘Till Earth and Heaven ring, Ring with the harmonies of Liberty: Let our rejoicing rise High as the listening skies. Let it resound, loud as the rolling sea, Sing a song full of the faith that the dark Past has taught us’ Sing a song full of the hope that the presence Has brought us; Facing the rising sun of a new day begun, Let us march on “til victory is won

Bishop Cleveland Thompson
Emmanuel Missionary Baptist Church
No one person exemplifies the personality of the Emmanuel Missionary Baptist Church better than its Senior Pastor, Bishop Cleveland A. Thompson. His high-energy, down- to-earth manner of elucidating the word of God has come to define the Emmanuel experience and his Liberty, Mississippi roots are evident in the southern drawl and vernacular he often slips into when preaching.
Bishop Thompson was born on July 7, 1958 in Liberty, Mississippi to the late David L. Thompson Sr. and Vivian N. Thompson. He began his personal walk with Christ at age 10 at the Liberty Baptist Church under the leadership of the late Rev. Dr. William H. Tobias. Cleveland honorably served twenty-four years in the United States Air Force, retiring in 2001 at the rank of Chief Master Sergeant.
