Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., in a speech in Memphis in 1968, wondered: “What does it profit a man to be able to eat at an integrated lunch counter if he doesn’t earn enough money to buy a hamburger and a cup of coffee?” Rising inequality continues to be a problem in the United States, affecting minority communities disproportionally. How can communities of faith make a difference, and what might be the specific contributions of African American communities of faith?

Following the KMSI Intensive, prospective students are invited to join us for lunch in which they will be able to engage with faculty and current students concerning issues of race as it pertains to our faith communities.

Registration is no longer available because the registration deadline has passed.
