Building the Beloved Community

Wednesday, January 11, 2006

This Monday marks the 20th anniversary of celebrating MLK day. Among his many convictions, Dr. Martin Luther King believed that the end of nonviolence and hate began with the creation of the "beloved community". As MLK Day quickly approaches, we seek to honor one of our greatest civil rights leaders, who had a dream, that inspired a nation to judge one another not by the color of our skin, but by the content of our character.

Please join me on Monday, January 16th, in celebrating Dr. King's legacy in a day of community service in Southeast, DC...where at the end of the day, we will be one step closer in building our beloved community.

(if you would like to come, just email me at emilyc@gwu.edu by Saturday!)

why kindling flames?

Socrates wrote, "Education is the kindling of a flame; not the filling of a vessel." This edublog is a place for us to come together as students, to learn more about the topics that interest us, and to engage in meaningful conversation about education policy. This site is not the end of our search for knowledge, but rather the beginning. A kindled flame.

who are we?

We are a group of education policy students at The George Washington University who are attempting to create dialogue, discuss policy issues, and build community. We come from diverse education experiences. We are teachers, policymakers, parents, activists, and researchers. While we may come from different backgrounds and have different perspectives, we are united under a common belief in the importance of education.
