Southern Christian president says group's differences resolved

CLEVELAND - The Southern Christian Leadership Conference, plagued by internal turmoil last year, has resolved its differences and is unified once again. <br> <br> That&#39;s what the group&#39;s president, Martin Luther King, the third, says. <br> <br> Last June, the board chairman criticized King and threatened to fire him over alleged deficiencies in fund-raising, leadership and time away from conference offices. <br> <br> King, who became president in 1998, says those issues have clearly been resolved and everyone is on the same page now, moving forward. <br> <br> The group&#39;s national convention opened Saturday in Cleveland and continues through Wednesday. King will deliver a keynote address Sunday night. <br> <br> Other speakers slated for the convention include the Reverend Al Sharpton, former U.N. Ambassador Andrew Young and Coretta Scott King, widow of the slain civil rights leader, Martin Luther King.
