MLK Keynote Speaker: Dr. Walter Kimbrough, “Is The Beloved Community Possible?”

January 23 @ 5:00 pm

“In recent years, we’ve seen concepts and ideas that many valued and embraced, become controversial and even toxic. Schools, organizations, and corporations which aspire to build the beloved communities that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. envisioned, now walk on eggshells. What words can we say? What concepts can we explore? What topics are now offensive?

In this presentation Dr. Walter Kimbrough will examine where Americans are in terms of building beloved communities, and despite the new climate, seek to identify new pathways to reach that goal. Participants will learn more about King’s idea of the beloved community and walkway with ideas for achieving that goal.”
