Program’s Mission: Stimulate critical thought in order to realistically redefine our narrative and positively reshape our reality through dialogue and with self-determination.
Dedication: Martin Luther King Jr. – original name Michael King, Jr., (born January 15, 1929, Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.—died April 4, 1968, Memphis, Tennessee), Baptist minister and social activist who led the civil rights movement in the United States from the mid-1950s until his death by assassination in 1968.
Perspective: “…The phrase (Kingdom of God) meant literally the reign of God, the condition of things in which God’s will is everywhere supreme. “Here we are left in no doubt as to the true meaning of the concept. Whether it come soon or late, by sudden crisis or through slow development, the kingdom of God will be a society in which all men and women will be controlled by the eternal love of God. When we see social relationships controlled everywhere by the principles which Jesus illustrated in his life-trust, love, mercy, and altruism-then we shall know that the kingdom of God is here. To say what this society will be like in exact detail is quite hard for us to picture, for it runs so counter to the practices of our present social life.g But we can rest assure that it will be a society governed by the law of love.”
