Workshop: Realizing the Civil Rights Dream: Diagnosing, Treating, and Ending Racism
Ending Racism USA
After more than half a century, our nation is still far from being the Beloved Community that Martin Luther King, Jr. talked about. This workshop reports on current threats to the Constitution from those who, ostensibly in the name of freedom, would solidify racism in America. And we propose ways that people who hope for a nation without racism can realistically work with the Constitution to bring non-violent changes that advance the goal of America becoming a Beloved Community.
This workshop is part of the Alliance of Baptists Annual Gathering. To join the "Realizing the Civil Rights Dream" workshop please register at http://bit.ly/3UzpoO0.
