On Wednesday, April 4, the King Urban Life Center gathered to commemorate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on this, the 50th anniverary of his assassination.
In 1983, the building of Our Lady of Sorrows Church on Genesee St. was declared by the Diocese of Buffalo to be in danger of a structural collapse. Thirty-three years later, the church is unfortunately gone, but the building still stands and has been put to good use.
The King Urban Life Center at 938 Genesee Street, formerly the St. Mary of Sorrows Catholic Church, still stands because a small group of people were determined that it not be thoughtlessly destroyed.
