Historical Note
Founded in 1968, under the direction of Reverend T.Y. Rogers, Jr., the Ministers Leadership Training Program (MLTP) was designed to train black clergymen to be leaders within their communities and to equip them with the knowledge and strategies necessary to respond to the unique dilemmas facing U.S. ghettos. Also important to the mission of the program was to acquaint the participating ministers with the history and philosophy of SCLC and the history and theology of the black church. With these goals in mind, SCLC hosted an orientation workshop in Miami, Florida, in February 1968 to begin organizing the MLTP in fifteen metropolitan cities, including: New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C, and Atlanta, among others. During the orientation program, conveners were selected from each city and were expected to conduct weekly meetings and seminars for clergymen in their communities and to act as a liaison between SCLC and the cities they represented. The program continued through 1969.
