MLK Committee hosts ‘Creating A Beloved Community’ Saturday
ALPENA — The Martin Luther King, Jr., Committee of Alpena is pleased to announce an interactive workshop designed to promote learning and open discussion about race and racism. The workshop, “Creating a Beloved Community,” features three interactive sessions beginning at 9:30 a.m. and ending at 3:30 p.m. with a lunch break. The workshop will be held virtually on Saturday.
“We’re hopeful that many people throughout Northeast Michigan find this to be an important discussion and will plan to participate in the workshop,” said long-time committee member Pastor Tom Orth. “We believe programs that offer opportunities to learn about race and racism in a safe environment without blame or guilt are the fundamentals to creating an inclusive community.”
