Soul of Nonviolence - Beloved Community Veronica Pelicaric

In this week’s quote, Robert Ferrell explores what Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s vision of Beloved Community would look like and Veronica discusses who is included.

In this way, you can take the first steps toward creating a Beloved Community of your own where every person is treated with respect and love.
