CLI Remembers Martin Luther King with Innovation

Congregational Leadership Interns spent Martin Luther King Jr. Weekend in dialogue about INNOVATION: social, cultural, and political actions for change. Interns watched a documentary about the Greensboro Four -- four Black college students who sat-in at a Whites-only Woolworth lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina in 1960 until the store changed its policy and they were served. Interns then struggled with a number of questions: Why do we feel like things have not changed since the Civil Rights Movement? How can we effectively change things we feel need changing? We then used popular theater to analyze innovations from conscious hip hop music toSamoan community centers and microloans for women.
