A fourth-generation preacher who presides over Fredericksburg\u2019s Shiloh (Old Site) Baptist Church, he\u2019ll weave his own personal civil rights story with words from the famous King speeches he\u2019s studied for decades.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKing was shot and killed, but his spirit lay in all of us. We are the bearers of his dream,\u201d Dobynes said. \u201cWe have to regularly and consistently, especially in this age in which we find ourselves, recognize what King said 40-some years ago. The work is never completed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Growing up in Perry County, Alabama \u2013 where MLK\u2019s widow, the late Coretta Scott King, also was raised \u2013 Dobynes absorbed the ways of his father, a preacher who earned a Purple Heart in Korea risking his life \u201cfor liberties he could not enjoy here at home.\u201d When Black parishioners signed on at his church, he made sure they got to the polls, as well, and when desegregation of schools finally slogged its way into Perry, he led a group that set out to protect Coretta Scott King\u2019s cousin, a local principal, from possible attacks by protestors.<\/p>\n<p>From his father and from his uncle, who was also involved in key civil rights struggles, Dobynes said that he learned: \u201cWe have a responsibility for making this world the best that we can while we\u2019re here and for making it better for those behind us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He developed that mindset, too, from Dr. King\u2019s mission, which he began to consume, reading and re-reading iconic speeches, like \u201cI Have a Dream\u201d and \u201cI\u2019ve Been to the Mountaintop,\u201d etching the words, inflection and tone into his mind.<\/p>\n<p>Licensed to preach by age 15, Dobynes began leading his own Baptist church services, which he\u2019s done ever since, inspiring congregations in Alabama, Louisiana and Virginia. He earned a bachelor\u2019s degree in psychology at the University of Alabama and a master of divinity degree from Virginia Union University School of Theology. He holds two doctoral degrees, one in ministry from United Theological Seminary and one in philosophy, with a concentration in Martin Luther King Jr. studies, from the Union Institute and University.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_91280\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-91280\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"91280\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/2021\/01\/26\/pastor-king-scholar-to-deliver-mlk-keynote\/dobynes-7\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/01\/Dobynes-7.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"715,600\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Dobynes 7\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;The Rev.
