As a civil rights leader, theologian, scholar, and philanthropist, Dr. King left an indelible mark on the world. As you attend community-led gatherings focused on making connections across difference and hope, we encourage you to reflect Dr. King's message:

"We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope."

We extend gratitude and appreciation to every house of worship, synagogue, mosque, and temple that will participate in this convening.
