2011 MLK Day On
Make it an inspiring “day on" this January 17. Hear untold stories about Dr. Martin Luther King and help us launch three YWCA Study Circles on race in our community.
Join the YWCA and partners Community United Church of Christ and the N.C. Social Justice Project for a special program commemorating Dr. King that will include:
- A community forum moderated by WUNC's Frank Stasio.
- Panelists including youth activist Sanyu Gichie; civil rights scholar Benita Jones; education activist Olga Matos; race/culture expert Mark Anthony Neal; and Muslim interfaith leader Jihad Shawwa.
- Refreshments provided and free childcare on a first-come, first-serve basis.
The event marks the official kick-off of three YWCA Study Circles in our community. Study Circles are multi-racial groups of eight to 10 people who gather for six weeks to learn about present-day racial equity in our nation and the region. Participants share their experiences and learn steps to foster proactive resolutions.
If you're committed to racial equity, join us as we strive toward justice for all!
