Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. devoted his life to advancing equality, social justice, and opportunity for all, and challenged all people to participate in the never-ending work of building a more perfect union. He believed immensely in the power of individual action and collective hope. We acknowledge that racism is a public health crisis and have seen this crisis further laid bare by COVID-19. We also recognize the urgent need to model Dr. Martin Luther King’s pursuit of unity, equity and justice. We stand in solidarity with demonstrators in our neighborhoods and across the world who are fighting the systemic racism which continues to oppresses our marginalized communities. We recognize this United States Federal Holiday with unifying civic and community activities to </span><strong>celebrate, educate, advocate, and serve</strong> in memory of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.</span> <span style="font-size: 14px;">(Bay Bridge Wisconsin - Community Organization)</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>Please REGISTER for the zoom event:</strong></span></span><br> <span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a tabindex="0" href="http://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUkd--przIvHNQ0k3B0SXDg03-fJ7CfPXnO?fbclid=IwAR1j7rKQf5UVUgAdB2JlHGvg4sPdhTjA2UY8H2RLWhR2nYg5Lzuxxryk2kg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://us02web.zoom.us/.../tZUkd--przIvHNQ0k3B0SXDg03...</a></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You will be emailed a zoom link to attend.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"> </p><p style="text-align: center;"><img style="width: 586px; height: 177px;" src="https://interfaithconference.org/uploads/editor/images/Screen%20Shot%202021-01-03%20at%2012_14_08%20PM.png" alt=""></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong>Racism in America: A Speaker Series. <em>Sponsored by the United Methodist Church of Whitefish Bay</em></strong></span><br> <span style="font-size: 14px;">Eight presentations on the history and societal impact of race in America will be offered on-line each Thursday from January 28 to March 18 @ 7 pm.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong><em>“How We Got Here: The Hidden History of Diversity in America“</em> </strong></span><span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong>Reggie Jackson, Nurturing Diversity Partners</strong></span><br> <span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong>January 28 @ 7 pm</strong></span><br> <span style="font-size: 14px;"> <a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUpdeyvpz8rH9A4P96gwFWh9425uCFdVzfD">CLICK HERE TO REGISTER</a></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br> <span style="font-size: 14px;">The Zoom link for the remaining presentations is: <a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89109430677">https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89109430677</a> You are encouraged but not required to register for these seminars. <br> You can also register by emailing the United Methodist Church of WFB c/o <a href="mailto:aeversfield@umcwfb.org">aeversfield@umcwfb.org</a> or calling 414-964-2424.</span> <br> <span style="font-size: 14px;"> </span><br> <span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Feb. 4 -</span> </strong><strong><em>“From John Brown to Jim Crow”</em> </strong>Brady Henderson, Cream City Law, LLC</span><br> <span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Feb. 11</strong></span><strong>- </strong><strong><em>“Employment Barriers Faced by Diverse Communities”</em></strong><strong> </strong> Maria E.

(2018) celebrates the groundbreaking PBS series SOUL! from its genesis to its eventual loss of funding, against the backdrop of a swiftly changing political and social landscape. </span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">From 1968 to 1973, the public television variety show SOUL!, guided by the enigmatic producer and host Ellis Haizlip, offered an unfiltered, uncompromising celebration of Black literature, poetry, music, and politics—voices that had few other options for national exposure, and, as a result, found the program an improbable place to call home.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The series was among the first to provide expanded images of African Americans on television, shifting the gaze from inner-city poverty and violence to the vibrancy of the Black Arts Movement. With participants’ recollections and illuminating archival clips, Mr. SOUL! captures a critical moment in culture whose impact continues to resonate, and an unsung hero whose voice we need now more than ever to restore the SOUL of a nation. </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">The pioneering performance/variety television program that ran on NET (National Educational Telelvision) from 1968-1973 showcasing African American music, dance and literature.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><a href="https://tubitv.com/series/2178/soul">Watch Original Episodes of SOUL! on TubiTv</a></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><a href="https://www.mrsoulmovie.com/">Visit Mr. Soul! website to stream the film</a></span><br> </p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Peace to all, life to all, love to all,</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Cherrie Hanson<br> Program Director</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Pardeep Singh Kaleka<br> Executive Director</span></p><p><a href="https://www.interfaithconference.org/donation" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.interfaithconference.org/library/assets/images/donate.jpg" alt=""></a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/Interfaith-Conference-of-Greater-Milwaukee-160663029275/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.interfaithconference.org/library/assets/images/facebook.png" alt=""></a></p><p> </p><p><strong>In order to unsubscribe, please click the link given below:</strong> <a href="http://ifcgm.facewebsites.net/unsubscribe-newsletter/?k=da36MZ)12h7zWHL" target="_blank">http://ifcgm.facewebsites.net/unsubscribe-newsletter/?k=da36MZ)12h7zWHL</a></p></html>
