The Kentucky Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. State Commission presented its 2022 Leadership Award Dr. John Chowning, executive assistant to the president for government, community and constituent relations at Campbellsville University. The senior pastor at Saloma Baptist Church, Chowning has been involved in many endeavors at Campbellsville University including race reconciliation and establishing Dialogue on Race, a project dear to his heart. He has served as a leader of Greater Campbellsville United, whose focus is to create an environment of equality and opportunity for all residents of Campbellsville-Taylor County and the heartland region of Kentucky.
"During my career in the church, higher education and civic engagement, I have felt a call to the ministry of building bridges across lines of race, ethnicity, language, gender and economic status and to help tear down walls and barriers that have too long separated the human race," Chowning said in accepting the honor.
