The Beloved Benefit Conversation Series is a new virtual experience created to help us meet the extraordinary challenges of today
Streaming online every month, these 30-minute episodes will feature national leaders in a candid conversation on race, economic mobility, and the building of Dr. King's beloved community. Through this series, we hope to spark more than awareness: We want to ignite real-world impact and inspire deeper community connection.
Join us as we create a way forward, together.
