Everyone is invited to bring memorabilia which represents love\\, truth and justice and share their stories on the Becoming the Beloved Community website. \n“The Beloved Community” is a term the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King\\, Jr.\\, popularized when he addressed Civil Rights supporters at the end of the Montgomery bus boycott in 1956 by declaring ending segregation was not the only goal but rather “the end is reconciliation\\, the end is redemption\\, the end is the creation of the beloved community.” \nAccording to thekingcenter.org\\, King’s Beloved Community is “a global vision\\, in which all people can share in the wealth of the earth. In the Beloved Community\\, poverty\\, hunger and homelessness will not be tolerated because international standards of human decency will not allow it. Racism and all forms of discrimination\\, bigotry and prejudice will be replaced by an all-inclusive spirit of sisterhood and brotherhood.” URL:https://sustain.auburn.edu/event/interfaith-discussion-and-panel-2/ LOCATION:Event Venue | Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art CATEGORIES:Anyone,Daytime,On Campus,Talk ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://sustain.auburn.edu/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Jule-Collins-Smith-Museum-Events-UKVsml.tmp_.png GEO:32.587748;-85.48373 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20180403T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20180403T190000 DTSTAMP:20260719T045453 CREATED:20201007T164616Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201007T214755Z UID:10002506-1522774800-1522782000@sustain.auburn.edu SUMMARY:sista docta: An Exploration of Race\, Gender\, and the Vagaries of Academic Life DESCRIPTION:Omi Osun Joni L.
