As Black History Month draws to a close, we will reflect on the words of Martin Luther King Jr. who said "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere" with respect to the current crisis in Gaza. We'll explore what the oppression of Palestinians means for the freedom of African Americans and the need for solidarity in pursuit of liberation.
We'll hear from Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac of the Evangelical Lutheran Christmas Church in Bethlehem. Then a panel discussion moderated by Detroit journalist Terrance Friday of CBS-TV will feature Palestinian activist Lexi Zeidan, Joshua Feinstein of Jewish Voices For Peace, Ossama Siblani, Editor of the Arab American News and Rev. Quantez Pressly of Third New Hope Baptist Church.
After the panel discussion, there will be a breakout session where all the attendees will divide into small groups for an organized round table discussion, moderated by a faith leader.
Enjoy a complimentary continental breakfast after you sign in at 8:30am.
