PLEASE JOIN US ON MONDAY, JANUARY 17, 2022 AT 10:00 AM FOR THE REV. DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. THIRTIETH ANNUAL NATIONAL HOLIDAY WORSHIP SERVICE AT: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/84282176356

THE DIAL IN PHONE NUMBER IS: 301-715-8592

Happy New Year! Hope you’re rested and ready to go! Join us for the first town hall of 2022 on January 11.

This town hall, presented in collaboration with the ACLU’s Smart Justice Campaign, will honor Martin Luther King and will examine his work from a different standpoint. In keeping with our 2021 presentations on Racial Justice Through Reimagining Policing, this town hall will examine Rev. King’s speeches and work that focus on Policing. Although Rev. King’s speeches focused on segregation through the lens of poverty, labor, global human rights and war, his work also focused extensively on police brutality and structural discrimination. Register for the Town Hall at: https://mlkpolicing.eventbrite.com

Be sure to visit the SDARJ display at the Lewes Public Library.  The display features our newsletter (“Black Voices”), the Book and Film Group, and our activist events.

In case you missed it (or just want to view it again) the Southern Delaware Alliance for Racial Justice (SDARJ) celebrated the African-American holiday Kwanzaa during the December Town Hall. Click to view the SDARJ Kwanzaa celebration.
