Join Nurturing Diversity Partners founder Dr. Fran Kaplan and dialogue facilitator Darrell Ferguson for a thought-provoking presentation that delves into Dr. King’s complete dream: To heal the world and create a Beloved Community through nonviolence, truth and reconciliation.

Why is truth necessary for healing?
What truths must we face about
Dr. King’s mission,
the origins of current racial issues in the US,
ourselves?
Who are some of the important past and current truth-telling role models in the US?
How can we answer Dr. King's call and build the Beloved Community?
