"The powerful way in which Dr. King expressed beloved community is that this is hard work, but it is good work and beloved community becomes generative. Yes, it's difficult to talk with family and friends about racism, difficult to be defined, and not be grandiosing yourself, those are hard concepts, but when you do it, the community thrives, it generates itself, people want to be apart of it. This is a really important notion, at a time when we are tearing each other apart, that we can actually find ways to build each other up."Rev.
