martin luther king

On Martin Luther King Day, Monday January 17th, join us to honor MLK and all the families that make up our city and our movement.

"How does one determine whether a law is just or unjust? A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. Any law that uplifts human personality is just. Any law that degrades human personality is unjust."
-- Martin Luther King Jr., Letter from Birmingham Jail, 1963

Monday January 17th - MLK Day of Action

We began the third day of the Poverty Initiative's week-long immersion course with a textual reflection on a biblical passage dealing with the subject of interruptions.  No matter what background, faith-based (and all the differences therein) or not, it was a chance to hear from one another about the ways we’ve all been affected by interruptions at some point or another, and to grapple with the role of interruptions in our lives and in our work together.

Date: January 18th (Martin Luther King Day)
Time: 3pm
Location: 440 North Broad St. (School District Headquarters)

Dr. King spent his life using non-violent organizing to combat violence and violent systems and institutions.
