“Our goal is to create a beloved community and this will require a qualitative change in our souls
as well as a quantitative change in our lives.”
-- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
(From Nonviolence: The Only Road to Freedom, May 04, 1966)
THEME: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke of building “the beloved community” as one of the goals of the Civil Rights Movement. He called for a community that is inclusive, caring, and equitable — one that doesn’t have hate or racism. What does building a beloved community mean to you? How can we create an inclusive and beloved community in Piedmont?
