Rev King sought presidency in 71
The Rev. Clennon King, a Black pastor from Albany Georgia, announced in Concord New Hampshire in 1971 his plan to enter New Hampshire's Republican presidential primary. He previously sought the Republican presidential nomination and the party's Georgia gubernatorial nomination, a history that underscores his long political activism and his church's involvement when he caused deacons to cancel services in Plains.
Carter to seek church action on admitting Negroes
Jimmy Carter says he will seek church action to ensure that those who share his religious faith may worship at Plains Baptist Church. The incident outside the church two days before the election sparked claims it was staged to embarrass Carter, while Rev Clennon King denied political motives. Deacons voted to recommend firing Rev Bruce Edwards after enforcing a 1965 resolution barring Negroes and civil rights activists. Carter’s mother said she invited blacks to worship and seat them on the front row.
