Franklin, C(larence) L(eVaughn) (1915–1984)

US clergyman and civil rights activist. The father of Aretha Franklin, he founded the New Bethel Baptist Church in Detroit, where his powerful sermons reached a wide audience. Along with Martin Luther King, Jr, he led a large civil-rights march.

He was born near Indianola, Mississippi and attended the seminary at Greenville Industrial College. As well as his church sermons, he used radio broadcasts to put across his message. The civil-rights march in Detroit prefigured King's more famous march on Washington, DC
