We are excited to share with you that we had a very successful Martin Luther King Peace School at Covenant Presbyterian Church on January 18th. We brought together a group of about 60 students, volunteers, teachers, and participants! We held classes for preschoolers, elementary school children, youth, and adults. Many people came to learn with family members, and some – including 7 volunteers from OSU – came to serve. Members of the Jewish, Muslim, Christian, and Unitarian Universalist community attended. We were given coverage on NBC Channel 4′s noon news covering MLK activities around Columbus – our first time on TV!
One of our participants later wrote: “Ours was a small AND mighty celebration of such a remarkable life and legacy – so meaningful and measurably moving…I was so uplifted by my time with the community you gathered today and the lessons and connections that moved forward with me through my day will continue to energize and inspire me for many days to come.”
Thank you to all of you who participated and helped with this project! We are blessed to have shared this experience with you, and look forward to doing
