Warrant issued iconic Civil Rights pastor Walter Fauntroy, 82

A bench warrant has been issued in Maryland for civil rights icon Walter Fauntroy.

The 82-year-old pastor and former Congressman, who was a trusted aid to Martin Luther King Jr., has had his passport revoked as a result of the warrant.

Fauntroy is believed to be somewhere in Africa, according to friends and family.

The warrant stems from an event to celebrate the inauguration of Barack Obama in Maryland in 2009 that Fauntroy was involved in organizing.
