Recapture...Reinvigorate...Redeem MLK's Vision

We want to present his vision with its sharp searing insight within the context of everyday life in contrast to what we see as an ongoing effort to render it as benign, anemic, antiseptic, allusive, and static.

We want to bring it back to the streets, to the people, where it started, where it belongs.

Deeply rooted in his spiritual beliefs and grounded in the traditions of the Jewish prophet and that of the black church, Martin Luther King, Jr.’s prophetic vision is a vision that calls the nation to a commitment to peace, to equal justice, and to equal opportunity for all.
