Dr. Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., will be joining multiple ministries, pro-life groups and churches from the Knoxville area for a Pro-Life Freedom Ride.
“The babies have no voice, so we need to be the voice of those who have no voice,” said Event Coordinator Lisa Morris. “It’s a free, family-friendly environment looking to bring awareness to our city and glorify God in this.”
The two-day event on Oct. 15 and 16 is the second of it’s kind, with the first being held in Birmingham earlier this year. According to a release, King along with other pro-life leaders like Father Frank Pavone will address an audience at the Tennessee Theater at 7 p.m.
“Dr. King’s story really tells the story of true heartbreak when it comes to abortion,” Morris said. “It is a devastating issue. Abortion is not the answer, because it just creates new heartaches. Whole families are devastated from this, not just the mother.”
On the 16th, the group will hold a time of prayer for those who have been involved with abortion issues at a Knoxville abortion clinic and will then caravan to Chattanooga’s National Memorial for the Unborn.
The Pro-Life Freedom Ride Bus will lead the way to Chattanooga. Morris explained the importance of the two Tennessee issues.
“They announced Knoxville at the Birmingham rally because of what is going on in our city,” Morris said. “It made sense because of the great pro-life movement going on in Knoxville because of the uprising last year with Planned Parenthood moving to Beardan. Those voices went beyond the state lines and the strength of the group was really evident.”
“We’re going from Knoxville to Chattanooga because Chattanooga is one of the largest city’s in the world where abortion and Planned Parenthood free,” Morris added. “Tennessee continues to go across all bounds and allow all groups to stand together for life.”

Organizers, like Morris, are hoping Knoxville can join Chattanooga as a leading city on the issue.
“I am hoping and praying that the theater is full and Knoxville can become a light for the nation to spread the truth on this issue,” Morris said.
