FCCA’s winter formation series is inspired by the radical legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. and all who have and continue to fight for Black liberation and therefore the liberation of all. How do Black liberation movements in the US connect our hearts and purpose to liberation movements around the world, especially in this crucial time in Palestine? These are the kinds of spiritual questions we will explore in the upcoming book group and alongside two guest speakers in the community.
