Community Gathering Initiative

At 10 a.m., following the 23rd annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Unity Breakfast Breakfast, the next installment of the Community Gathering Initiative will be held in MCC’s Stevenson Center Room 1200. The event is free and open to the public. Community Gatherings have been held throughout 2018 to allow community conversation to create shared learning and meaning, exploring issues of diversity and inclusion in a new way. Facilitators will be reflecting on Dr. Anne Bailey’s thoughts on the legacy of slavery and their impact locally today presented during her talk on “The Weeping Time: Memory and the Largest Slave Auction in American History.”
