(AP Photo/Cheyanne Mumphrey)PHOENIX – Phoenix city officials, residents and prominent members of the Black community will honor late civil rights icon, city leader and longtime Arizona resident Calvin Coolidge Goode in the coming weeks.
In 1977, Stewart said Goode welcomed him to Phoenix and spoke at his installation as pastor of First Institutional.
But Stewart said “the most prestigious” memory he had was receiving the Calvin C. Goode Lifetime Achievement Award in 2003.
Goode was a soft-spoken man, but lion-hearted — an unshakeable force for progress, equality and civil rights," Democratic state Rep. Reginald Bolding said in a statement.
