(KAIR)--Scheduling last month kept one special guest from attending Atchison's Martin Luther King Day commemoration, but now, with compelling story ready to be told, the message of Darryl Burton will be heard Monday.
The author of "Innocent: A Second Look," Burton, known as "The Miracle Man," spent 24-years in prison until he was exonerated in 2008 when his innocence was proven.
According to darrylburton. org, Burton now serves as associate pastor at the largest United Methodist Church in the United States, with locations throughout the Kansas City area, and is the founder of the Miracle of Innocence organization.
Burton's message will be delivered Monday evening, at Atchison's United Methodist Church, located at 501 Kansas Avenue, beginning at 5:30. Then, at 7:00 Monday evening, a reception and reading by Burton will be held at the Cultural Center, located at 111 North 8th Street, with the event being called "Looking Back Looking Forward: Our History with Justice."
The public is invited to attend.
