and moderated by Arthel Neville, American journalist, television personality and weekend anchor for Fox News Channel. Neville is the daughter of Art Neville, founder of the New Orleans music groups The Meters and The Neville Brothers.

to discuss the inter-being of spirituality and action in the struggle for racial justice. Given the tragic events in Baltimore, New York, Charleston, Ferguson and elsewhere in the US, the time is now to look deeply and act compassionately to address our country's deep-rooted habit of structural racism.

Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh’s message of peace was instrumental in Dr. King's decision to speak out against the Vietnam War and to nominate Thich Nhat Hanh for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1967. When Dr. King was assassinated, Thich Nhat Hanh vowed to redouble his efforts to build the Beloved Community they had discussed together and to continue teaching the importance of "being peace" in the non-violent struggle for peace and justice.

Their message is as important today as it was 50 years ago. Explore ways that people are using these teachings today and learn how you can too.

doors open at 6:30pm, conversation at 7pm
