The University of Massachusetts Boston last Fall kicked off the fundraising efforts for the new Michael E. Haynes Distinguished Professorship in Urban Studies with a gala event paying tribute to the civil rights leader, former state representative, and longtime pastor of the Twelfth Baptist Church. A Roxbury native, Reverend Haynes earned a reputation in the 1950s as a tireless advocate for troubled youth, inspiring hundreds of young people to stay in school, pull themselves out of poverty, and lead purposeful lives helping others. He joined the ministerial staff of the Twelfth Baptist Church in 1951, where he met the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who was pursuing his doctorate at Boston University. Dr. King became a close friend and the two worked closely in the civil rights movement thereafter. From 1964 to 2004, he served as senior pastor of the Twelfth Baptist Church and is currently pastor emeritus. Reverend Haynes also represented Roxbury and the South End of Boston as a state representative, was a member of numerous groups including the Attorney General¹s Committee on Drug Addiction, and the Mayor¹s Committee on Violence.
