Learn About The Love Seat

We are on a mission to create a beloved community in Columbia.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. inspired us to begin dreaming about this concept nearly 70 years ago. He insisted it would be an outgrowth of love, a love that is creative and redemptive, that builds up and unifies.
