Arkansas Reverend Honored Today in Washington, D.C.

A well-known Little Rock clergyman will be honored in the nation's capital today.

Rev. Hezekiah Stewart will be one of dozens from across the country who will receive honors as distinguished community leaders.

In a ceremony at FBI Headquarters, Director Robert S. Mueller, III will recognize the recipients of the 2008 Director’s Community Leadership Award.

These leaders, selected by their local FBI Field Office, have demonstrated outstanding contributions to their local communities through service.

“Whatever the motivation – an unfilled need, a tragic occurrence, a desire to give back – these are people who make things happen and enlist others in their cause,” said Director Mueller. “They are activists who have earned their prestige through good works.”

The Little Rock Field Office nominated Rev. Stewart, who is Executive Director of the Watershed Human and Community Development Agency, Inc., and Pastor of Moody Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church.
