MLK - Beyond the Dream

You are invited to Kalamazoo Valley Community College's 2023 "MLK - Beyond the Dream" events. The 2023 theme is Beloved Community, modeled after Dr. King's vision of a community absent of poverty, hunger, and hate. Join us as we collectively reflect upon what a beloved community truly means, our roles in building beloved community and the work that must be done in order to achieve beloved community.

We will be hosting two consecutive events. The second builds upon the prior, so we sincerely hope that you are able to join us for both - but please feel free to attend even if you are only available for one event. On February 9th, we will be defining a 'beloved community' and identifying how our organizations work to serve our communities. On February 23rd,, we will reflect upon and organize around the work that needs to be done to further create a beloved community here in Kalamazoo.

We appreciate everything that you have been doing to create beloved community and would love for you to share your wisdom with us. Please see below for event details:
