What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with your God? Micah 6:8
In the 1960s, Joan Trumpauer Mulholland was a White college student from the South who put herself on the front lines of the Civil Rights struggle. She participated in the Freedom Rides, enrolled as the first White student at Tougaloo College, contributed to the Jackson sit-in movement, and was active in the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC).
Join us for an impactful conversation with Joan and her son Loki Mulholland, an author and documentarian. They'll share how Joan's faith led her to accompany her Black friends and others in the struggle against racial injustice in our country and commit her life to this ongoing work.
Joan and Loki will also discuss racial justice in the current moment and the importance of our individual and community efforts, no matter how big or small, in the collective struggle for equality for all.
There will be time for some questions and answers at the end and a reception and book signing will follow at 4 PM.
Questions? Contact Lori Strauss.
