Five hundred African-American and African Christian leaders arrived in Israel on Thursday for the "Unfinished Business" pilgrimage, aiming to fulfill Martin Luther King Jr.'s 1967 plan for a Holy Land visit. King's original trip was postponed due to the Six Day War and ultimately canceled after his assassination in 1968. The BCLCIR organized the current visit to mark the 59th anniversary of King's planned journey. The delegation also honored victims of the October 7 attacks and antisemitism.
