| “Let us realize that the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice”: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s impassioned call for continued struggle echoes through the decades, encouraging
dedicated people of goodwill to press on, helping bend that arc. In the spirit of shared labor toward common causes, the Voices for Peace and Justice 2010 event series presents a rich collaboration of organizations.
VOICES 2010
is the CKCPJ's fall 2010 event series focusing on peace education in central Kentucky. Join us to hear voices that are too often not heard.
