MLK Teach-IN

For over 400 years, Black people have felt the effects of racial inequality and injustice. Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., one of the most significant leaders in the civil rights movement, devoted his life to addressing these issues – fighting to end racial segregation, advocating for justice through peaceful protest, and challenging systemic racism. Unfortunately, we continue to face some of the same challenges. The battle for the soul of this nation continues. The current climate demands that we take action to end police brutality, voter suppression, anti-reproductive laws, human rights violations, and hyper-capitalism.

To honor Dr. King's life and legacy while confronting all forms of physical and structural violence, Friendship-West will host a nationwide MLK teach-in. The teach-in is also designed to reclaim Dr. King's mission and ministry by meeting people where they are, leading them to discuss Dr. King's commitment to radical change, and preparing them to engage in movement-building.
