Watch and Listen Series-Martin Luther King, Jr. Edition
The KOK Justice and Equality Team invites you to participate in our MLK edition of the Watch and Listen Series. Whether or not the video or podcast align with our personal beliefs, the goal is to listen and seek understanding of the many perspectives around these social justice issues. We encourage you to reflect on these questions: What are my thoughts and feelings about what I just watched and heard? What made me uncomfortable? What do I need to learn more about? What questions do I have? Here are the links to the video and podcast for the MLK edition of the Watch and Listen Series. On Wednesday, January 27 from 7:00-8:00pm a Zoom session will be offered for anyone interested in sharing their perspective or hearing what others have to say.
