Close to 200 black clergy and religious leaders gathered Thursday for a rally at the Capitol in recognition of the 45th anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King.

The event was held in the rotunda and organized by ISAIAH, a non-profit coalition of over 100 congregations from various faith traditions in the metro area.

The group was told no singing was allowed in the rotunda, so ISAIAH's president, the Rev. Paul Slack, led the group in a rendition of "Amazing Grace" outdoors on the Capitol steps.
