Amazing Grace Producer Ken Wales to Speak

at Justice Foundation Banquet March 13, 2008

By Jim Day

In recent issues of the MetroVoice, we have featured stories concerning the work of The Justice Foundation and its Operation Outcry project. On March 13th, the foundation will be holding an inaugural banquet here in St. Louis starting at 6:30 p.m. at the Hilton St. Louis Frontenac Hotel, which is located at 1335 South Lindbergh at the intersection of Lindbergh Blvd. and Clayton Rd. in Frontenac, MO.

The banquet will feature the internationally acclaimed film producer Ken Wales, whose works include the 2007 major motion picture Amazing Grace, the 1993 groundbreaking television series Christy, and the 1981 Golden Globe winner, East of Eden.  His emphasis will be on the movie Amazing Grace and how William Wilberforce helped to eliminate slavery in the British Empire in the 1800's. The Justice Foundation will also share some exciting up-dates about the incredible opportunities they have had to change the hearts of people and the laws of the land in defense of life.

The Justice Foundation's message “Abortion Hurts Women” is powerful, especially when the women who have experienced abortion share their personal stories of what it did to them.  This message is changing the way that Americans view abortion, as the Justice Foundation is re-framing the debate on abortion and exposing a truth that the opposition does not like to hear.

The effectiveness of these women's testimonies was demonstrated in the 2007 Supreme Court decision to uphold the partial birth abortion ban in which the Justice Foundation’s Friend of the Court Brief was sited.

Just as Wilberforce sought to end slavery through the legislative process, Operation Outcry seeks to end legal abortion through the gathering of legal declarations admissible as evidence in courts and legislatures.

Those interested in attending this incredible event (and I hope that everyone who reads this article will be) are encouraged to call the Justice Foundation at 1-(866)-468-8279 (1-800-4OUTCRY) to purchase tickets at a modest cost of $50 per person.

Again, the banquet will be held March 13th, starting at 6:30 p.m. at the Hilton St. Louis Frontenac Hotel located at 1335 South Lindbergh at the intersection of Lindbergh Blvd. and Clayton Rd. in Frontenac, MO.

This will be an inspirational evening that you won't soon forget.
