A special January BUILDING PEACE:
A Martin Luther King, Jr. Day program It was a wonderful morning learning about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, and how his legacy impacts us today. Over 60 guests of all ages enjoyed crafts and activities, a fabulous brunch, and a Peace Parade around our parking lot. The adults were blessed to hear Charlene Green's eye-opening presentation on the racial and ethnic history of Charlottesville. Many thanks to the Building Peace team and all who helped with this event, particularly the Middle School youth and mentors. |
CHARLENE GREEN,
our MLK, Jr. Day Speaker |

One Sunday of each month in 2018-19 we gathered for a family-friendly afternoon of art, stories, and food.
