Today was a magical day at my small college on the hill. Our recital hall, which seats about 135 people, was filled to capacity, with people spilling onto the side steps to attend the second of what last year we christened the MLK Jr. Day of Dialogue.
The college president opened the event and then there was a student/faculty panel that discussed "Race, Identity and Privilege," and absolutely rocked. The Gospel Choir performed in closing and then we adjourned to the dining hall to continue the conversation.
The event was inspiring, thought-provoking, moving, and I couldn't feel more proud to be part of this community.
This year we subtitled the event: "With Great Privilege: Rising to King's Challenge," and I actually felt that those who participated and those who attended were all on that same page.
This was a memorable day.
Thank you, Dr. King, for showing us the way.
We can only pray that we live up to your challenge.
