Creating the Beloved Community
“A democracy cannot thrive where power remains unchecked and justice is reserved for a select few. Ignoring these cries and failing to respond to this movement is simply not an option — for peace cannot exist where justice is not served.”
The 2021 Celebration keynote will be delivered by Dr. Ben Danielson, Former Director of the Odessa Brown Children’s Clinic.
