I cowered at the revelation that our soul brother number one, musical architect Don Cornelius, whose funky good time was always buoyed by a distinguished gentleman aesthetic, had taken his own life.

Celebrating the Peace Legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr.

The Atlanta Friends Meeting Meetinghouse

701 West Howard Avenue, Decatur, Georgia  30030

Join us as we lift up the message of peace in King’s final book Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community–In 1967, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., isolated himself from the demands of the civil rights movement, rented a house in Jamaica with no telephone, and labored over his final manuscript.

With a universal message of hope that continues to resonate, King demanded an end to global suffering, asserting that humankind-for the first time-has the resources and technology to eradicate poverty.
