As we welcome 2021 and the reflection and intentions that a new year brings, we join many faith communities in trying to come to terms with the racial turbulence of the past and of 2020. On that note, the Racial Justice Committee will host a series of virtual speakers for the commemoration of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and the start of Black History Month.
We encourage you to engage by Zooming in, opening your mind to some history and new perspectives, and being part of a meaningful dialogue.
