A Letter from the Director
|
January gives us an opportunity to commemorate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and to continue to address racism in all its forms.
This winter, our Dine and Discuss book looks at the compelling story of Forsyth, Georgia, and its racial past.
Does your New Year's resolution include some thoughtful reading? Join us!
Sincerely,
Sister Janet
